On your mark
Get set...
Go!
Heard it in the playground
Ribbons for the "winner"
Those bent on the competition
Insist
"Somebody has got to lose!"
Prepares ya for "life"
More at stake now
Well yes
It's still just a race
Trophies and medals
Where's your school "spirit?"
Keep running
Leave the competition behind
Could get ya a "free ride"
The best school
And a shot at representing
Well yes
Grade percentiles
Podiums
Keep running
Winners don't quit
Quitters don't win
A most impressive
Scholastic and Athletic path
Want that corner office
Keep running
"Rat race"
Only to those
That are losing
They don't know how
To play the game
In a class all your own
Saving whales and trees?
No!!
You're among the elite
Not one of those bleeding heart losers
Nobody has time for losers
You didn't get to the top
By stopping to listen
To those whiners
That fell by the wayside
Somebody has got to lose!!
Passage is ushered
From architectural and engineering marvels
Intended to connect and bridge
Distant view points
And the maw
Of a cavernous abyss
The river
Gaia's life blood
Involuntarily co-opted
To grant a death wish
Utterly contrary
To it's very nature
"Bleeding hearts" line the river bed
Nobody will listen
There's no time
The "race" to the swiftest
"Somebody has got to lose!"
