lyrics

There is a young boy lying face down in the dirt
He's trying to hide how much it hurts
As he hurries to the gates of the playground
Away from the big boys who push him around

Class idiot at the back is doing her best
But she just can't cope with all these tests
Sick of being treated like a fool,
Punished, abused and ridiculed

42" screen his neighbours can't compete
And his car is the envy of the street
But still he hasn't found the key
To be quite as good as the celebrities

CHORUS
Do you ever stop to think
About all the damage done?
By endless competition, looking after number one?
Tit for tat, an eye for an eye and nobody can see
All against all and the world against me

Climbing the ladder of success
Treading on the heads of all the rest
Going to the top at all costs
She'll crawl her way to one day be boss
Raging inside he's at his worst
And he'll do what it takes to get there first

He's a time bomb ready to explode
And he'll kill or die for this piece of road
The boys are out in force on the town
Looking for a ruck someone's going down
To prove their manhood and show their might
So it's any excuse to start a fight

CHORUS
Do you ever stop to think
About all the damage done?
By endless competition, looking after number one?
Tit for tat, an eye for an eye and nobody can see
All against all and the world against me

A young blood with so much to prove
Is running with a gang his life is on the move
Until one night it gets cut short
Another senseless stabbing on a news report

Bigots make a stand for all things white
And there's racists attacks every day and night
They say we're overrun, we shouldn't let them in
This is how fascism begins

Survival of the fittest makes the world go round
And war on this earth is everywhere to be found
Man versus nature, ecosystems in the way
Racing on the fast track to the end of our days
