When you bend your rules to win, does the victory even count? I've compromised my standards, and now I'm winning but it feels like nothing. Nobody cares how you got there. Maybe that's the saddest part.","body","\r

I go through life\r
\nI've got my ambitions\r
\nI've set my goals\r
\nBut they seem to be shifting\r
\nEverytime I turn around\r
\nThey move further away\r
\n

Is it still winning\r
\nIf I've broken all my rules?\r
\nIs it still winning\r
\nIf I've lost all my cool?\r
\nIt may be sinning\r
\nBut I won't look like a fool\r
\nI may be winning\r
\nBut it doesn't feel that way\r
\n

I've got my standards\r
\nWell -- I did at the beginning\r
\nThings got a li-dle tough\r
\nI may have bent the rules\r
\nMeans to an end, I know\r
\nBut now the end has no meaning\r
\nI didn't really want things\r
\nTo be this way\r
\n

I've seen all the others\r
\nAnd I've seen their condition\r
\nMaybe all this winning\r
\nIsn't all that it seems\r
\nMaybe there's no success\r
\nIf you don't go in kicking\r
\nThen is it worth the risk\r
\nOf success kicking back?\r
\n

Is it still winning\r
\nIf I've broken all my rules?\r
\nIs it still winning\r
\nIf I feel like a fool?\r
\nI know that I'm sinning\r
\nBut they're sinning too\r
\nI may be winning\r
\nBut it doesn't feel that way\r
\n

I know we all can't win\r
\nBut I won't be the loser\r
\nWhy do I have to win\r
\nAnd prove myself right?\r
\nAll that I'll show again\r
\nIs that I'm still good at cheating\r
\nNobody cares but me\r
\nSo maybe it's all right.\r
\n

Here I am winning\r
\nI've broken all my rules\r
\nHere I'm winning\r
\nI've taken all of those dares\r
\nI know that I'm sinning\r
\nBut it doesn't matter\r
\nOnce I'm out here winning\r
\nNobody cares.\r
\n\r
