lyrics

We've been caught up in the race it's been this way for so long,
we're all in joint last place except the wiseacre ones pulling the strings, dangling enticing things in front of us just close enough
that we can all get a taste enough to want more of the stuff, it'll get you off your face the first time like falling in love, enough's enough oh but we all know that enough's never enough but we'll never get the chance to take a bonafide bite.
Flicking through 800 channels when only four did suffice, what happened to fun with a board and some dice now we're the game I guess and the stakes are all for real but just mean so much less to the ones spinning the wheel while we're spinning in it.
They can all bail at anytime and just when the shit gets real close to the blade of the fan they all throw the blame and make for the van, leaving the rest of us to take the heat and raid the land.
I was happy on the island I don't know about you, I don't need to know though and I don't really want to, it makes no odds, we're all stuck on this boat we may as well try and get along.
We've been caught up in the race it's been this way for so long, we're not in any danger just been in the game too long it's irrational but we're all scared of the actor with the loaded starter gun
