Lyrics

The ruthlessness may not seem fitting
For the position that she’s in
She doesn’t care about perception
She only wants to win
There is no time for justice
For a jury to weigh in
It’s not about legality
She just wants to win
There is no grace or peace here
There is no charity
The world is defined here
By allegiance or enmity
She doesn’t care what’s right
That the line is growing thin
It’s not about the light
She just wants to win
Don’t waste time trying to change the tone
Don’t misunderstand the game you’re in
Civility is of no consequence
She only wants to win
You weren’t looking for a contest
It’s not supposed to be that way
Now it’s coming down to fight or fly
Can you lay it down and walk away
Won’t turn tail like the playground bully
If she takes one on the chin
Doesn’t care about staying pretty
She only wants to win
Though the wind may sometimes seem to shift
And the fogs of conflict thin
Don’t misread the movement of the tides
She just wants to win
It’s Mister Burroughs’ algebra
Behind the death-mask grin
The need that sweeps the rest away
She only wants to win
