Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Play Riff 1
---> Play Riff 1 over:
   I used to have this idea
   That winning a silver medal could set me free
   Oh but you know that I really don't need cash or fame or credit
   Or a big fat bank account with no debit
   So just set me straight
   Cause eating a piece of mind just can't wait
---> Play Riff 2 over:
   I'm sending a telegram that's urgent, urgent
   I hope it gets to my door, my big big door
---> Play Riff 3 over:
   I'm going to read it if it kills me
   Cause this ain't much better anyway
---> Play Riff 2 over:
   Just push it away
   Push it away
   Just push it away
   Push it away
---> Play Riff 1
---> Play Riff 1 over:
   Oh success, that elusive brainchild of greed
   Something you want not need, basic 'cause
   Money can't buy true friendship or trust
   ??? no substitute for love ??? check it out
---> Play Riff 2 over:
   I'm sending a telegram that's urgent, urgent
   I hope it gets to my door, my big big door
---> Play Riff 3 over:
   I'm going to read it if it kills me
   Cause this ain't much better anyway
---> Play Riff 2 over:
   Just push it away
   Push it away
   Just push it away
   Push it away
---> Play Ending
