Number One

Lyrics

[Intro: Count Bounce, Renée Geyer] I got to be number one Gotta be number one Come on, yeah [Verse 1: Count Bounce] Love and politics, sex and sadness Step by step, all tryna be the baddest When the storm come, better check your ballast And pray that the wind blow gust upon your canvas Reach for the stars, pray not for failure When you're stuck in the pit with all the other gladiators Lookin for more meaning, reason to keep living Climb to the top, 'cause the race needs winning Wanna be a radiant sun that shines forever through better or worse? We gotta keep things spinnin' Fame, recognition, purpose and vision With a small little snake in your ear cold hissing Wanna hear the music? Go buy tickets But kick it on the street for the freaks in the village Feelin' too green? Soak up the spillage Who is the number one champion in your village? [Chorus: Joelistics & Count Bounce, Renée Geyer] (I got to be number one) Wanna be number one? Gotta beat on your drum like this (Gotta be number one) Like that Close your eyes and imagine how it feels to be like that (I got to be number one) Wanna be number one? Gotta beat on your drum like this (Gotta be number one) Like that And the whole world's going along with your act [Bridge: Renée Geyer, Joelistics] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Cher!) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 2: Joelistics] Said the world's obsessed with the competition winner But all that glitters not gold (No!) The trophy and the cheddar don't define a man's measure Man, you gotta get it in your soul And you can heed the pressure, or turn your back Follow your own path, or follow the pack, brother Go discover what you love in life The aim of the game is to love your life And if daddy don't tolerate losers in the family You tell him he can stick his sausage in the pantry If he gets hot headed, then pull a funny face Kick him in the shins and choke him with a shoelace Cash athletics, you're comin' last? Become an academic, give your life to the arts You'll get more girls and have more fun And anyway, the mainstream's for suckers and chumps [Chorus: Joelistics & Count Bounce, Renée Geyer] (I got to be number one) Wanna be number one? Gotta beat on your drum like this (Gotta be number one) Like that Close your eyes and imagine how it feels to be like that (I got to be number one) Wanna be number one? Gotta beat on your drum like this (Gotta be number one) Like that And the whole world's going along with your act (Yeah) [Bridge: Renée Geyer, Joelistics & Count Bounce] Everybody now (Champions!) Everybody now (Champions!) Everybody now (Champions!) [Chorus: Joelistics & Count Bounce, Renée Geyer] (I got to be number one) Wanna be number one? Gotta beat on your drum like this (Gotta be number one) Like that Close your eyes and imagine how it feels to be like that (I got to be number one) Wanna be number one? Gotta beat on your drum like this (Gotta be number one) Like that And the whole world's going along with your act (Yeah)
