1. Go ahead and laugh at me,
Try to be the man you wanna 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 found.
Let's bring ev'rybody down,
Will we ever be ready
For what we're headin' for?

R: 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 become to the one we love
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.

2. Well surprise surprise,
A few morelies
Or do we simply call them alibies?
This life we live
Ain't fooling either one of us.
Oh, and while we're having so much fun,
Let's not forget the lowly 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
Just what went wrong?
R:

R:
The race is on.
The race is on.
The race is on.
The race is on.
The race is on.
The race is on.
The race is on.
The race is on.
