learn your place
your just another face in the crowd
it's really foolish to be proud

know who you are
i'm sure you'll get real far
if you keep sucking up
i'm sure you'll have better luck

learn your role
set your goals real low
and put on a smile, just for show


know your place in the crowd
you're just another face in the crowd
so it's real foolish to be proud of who you are
know this, learn this, you'll go far...

hmmm.... I see a lot of potential with this one...

I like the quickness of it.. few words with a lot of good advice... sort of putting him in his place short and to the point.

Not sure if the last stanza flowed as well as the rest... having the first two lines ending with the same words 'in the crowd'... maybe to have it go better with the rest of the stanza's ...leave off "in the crowd' on that first line of the last stanza so it reads:

know your place
you're just another face in the crowd
so it's real foolish to be proud of who you are
know this, learn this, you'll go far...

This way it all sort of ties in together:

learn your place
...
know who you are
...
learn your role
...
know your place
...
