This song is inspired by The Game Of Living.
it's about this man i know
he showed up for the human race
he would not join the race
he would not compete
he refused to cooperate with the race
he believed he could "will" it that he was not in the race (perhaps he thought he was above it... or beyond it... or?)
the starting gun went off
and, his whole life he watched the race go by
then, the race was over
obviously, the man did not win... he lost... he came in DEAD LAST
It ain't a matter,
Of whether ya win,
Come join in,
Climb the ladder.
Can't keep the pace of this race?
Ya don't even try. Why?
Everyone's gotta compete.
It's complete.
Why won't you cooperate,
Before it's toooo late.
