Number one is for all you wimps
All you sissys, sasses and sips
Words awfuly lame philosophical abuse
Number one says
Strength needs no excuse
Strength needs no excuse

The rules of success
They’re in number four
The rules of success
May open the door
To happiness, social progress
I said your life is a mess?
You need the four rules of success

Number two is for those of you historical perspectives
All guilt-mongers and charlatan tractors
OK, so joint was topless or the top is jointless
But number two said
The past is pointless
The past is pointless

Oh, the rules of success
They’re in number four
The rules of success
They open the door
To happiness, and social progress
I said your life is a mess?
You need the four rules of success

Number three
serendipity
Number three
Speak what you believe
Number three its ego arresting
Just because it happens to you doesn’t make it interesting
Just because it happens to you doesn’t make it interesting

Oh, the rules of success
Well that’s three
For the rules of success
They will open your a free door
To happiness and social progress
You said your soul’s egress?
I say your life is a mess
You need the four rules of success

Number four
Subtle and plastic
Number four
Psycho elastic
(illegible) the shirt’s been on
Say: the things that you apologize for are the things that you want
The things that you apologize for are the things that you want

Oh, the rules of success
They’re the one and two and three, four
Called the rules of success
They will open your a free door
To happiness and social progress
And the soul’s egress
I said your life is a mess
You need the four rules of success

Just shut up, just shut up
Just shut up, just shut up
Just shut up
You poor fools
With these four rules
The world…
Your life will be blessed
If you use the four rules of success
I said your life if will be blessed
If you use the four rules of success
I said your life if will be blessed
If you use the four rules of success
