Another Competition

Another competition
Another head-to-head
No room for intuition
It’s calculated fails instead
No red flags in this race
No mercy on the slow
Everyone’s at a fast pace
1, 2, 3, 4, ready, set, go!

And sadly, you’re about to be the first one
The first one to fall down
At the end of the road there’s no light, there is darkness
For you are such a hasty clown

Peeking through the keyholes, watching every move
If you fail to make your own, you steal someone else’s groove
A bit of inspiration never hurt no one
And, who knows, you might find answers to questions that are none

And sadly, you’re about to be the first one
The first one to fall down
At the end of the road there’s no light, there is darkness
For you are such a hasty clown

Oh, and if you only knew what open arms could do
In these times so lost and blue
Drifting endlessly like oil spills at sea
We’d care for you, wouldn’t we?

We’d care for our sisters
Help our brothers too
Until everyone’s equal
1, 2, 3, 4, ready, set, go!

But sadly, we’re about to be the first ones
The first ones to fall down
At the end of the road there’s no light, there is darkness
(Another circus leaving town)
Sadly, you’re about to be the first one
The first one to fall down
At the end of the road there’s no light, there is darkness
For you are such a hasty clown
