The hill you have to climb is steep and high
It's getting harder to see
The ship is sinking and you cannot swim
Hands waving in the air, hands waving in

End of the race, red in the face
Cause you cannot keep up with the pace
You're a disgrace and despicable
End of the race, red in the face
Cause you cannot keep up with the pace
You're a disgrace and despicable

Exhausted, you collapse into the mud
Eyes burning from your tears
You crawl your way back up onto your feet
Only to fall back, only to fall

End of the race, red in the face
Cause you cannot keep up with the pace
You're a disgrace and despicable
Vanity case, you've been replaced
So you better learn how to embrace
That lonely place, so predictable

Don't think the audience would disagree (disagree)
You wouldn't be here without me
You pound your chest like you just won the war
The joke's on you (the joke's on you)
You think the joke's on me

Fighting an enemy that's invisible
This ends the love affair, this ends the love

Don't think the audience would disagree (disagree)
You'd never be here without me
You pound your chest like you just won the war (won the war)
The joke's on you (the joke's on you)
You think the joke's on me (you think the joke's on me)
The joke's on you
