lyrics

Gotta be right up there right on top
Gotta know who’s what and where and never stop
There’s no left or right No time to fight
Just the ticking arms of the clock

Gotta be ambitious
That’s the story of our lives
Gotta be ambitious to survive

Gotta always be on guard do the right thing
Gotta take and play the part pull the right strings
There’s no back just forth stay on course
Now what tomorrow will bring

Gotta be ambitious...

Gotta count the loss
Gotta out the costs
Gotta be a busy bee
Gotta bring them to their knees
Gotta black out all that’s red
Gotta get what you can get
And more and more and more and more
Cause that’s what we’re living for

Schönfeld recommends:

A Journal Of The Plague Year (a compilation)
by Sunex Amures

Fellow bandcamper Sunex Amures makes the best out of our year of the plague and releases one scorcher after another. From rocking Baroque Prog to funky, punky Psyche it's all there. Unmissable. Schönfeld

Holy Wars
by Tuxedomoon

Heroes. Gods. No other band sounded like them 40 odd years ago, and no band does now. Avantgarde, left-field and immensely listenable - you simply MUST hear these guys' work. Schönfeld

Live with The No.6 Orchestra
by Everything Everything

Proof that intelligent Rock and Pop is alive and well! Blending angular guitar work, otherworldly vocals and vast soundscapes with modern rhythms this youngsters succeed where other fail. Great stuff! Schönfeld
