The Race Is On

Go ahead and laugh at me
Try to be the man you want to be
Baby, it's not hard to see what's going on
Well, maybe we should celebrate, drink champagne
Why should we wait
Why don't we ask some friends around
They can help us play this game we've found
Hey, let's bring everybody down
Will we ever be ready for what we're heading for

Here we stand like a couple of fools
And the race is on
Hand in hand as we break the rules
And the race is on
What's the cost to the one who's lost
When the race goes wrong
You may say why begin when we both can't win
But the race goes on
Hand in hand like a couple of fools
And the race is on

Well, surprise, surprise a few more lies
Or do we simply call them alibis
This life we lead ain't fooling either one of us
Oh, and while we're having so much fun let's not forget
The lonely ones
Slowly falling out of love
This game we play can be so rough
Now maybe we've gone far enough
But are you sure you know what we're heading for

Here we stand like a couple of fools
