Competition is overwhelming,
it's too much, all these people thriving
it's rush hour
it seems like rush hour all the time, man
you're in competition with them,
always, take your energy pills, get enough sleep
this world is a crazy and competitive place.
that's why all the athletes take the dope
the students cheat on the exams
TO GET AHEAD
all these crazy ambitious people around me
it wears you out,
I love seeing people in the slow lane of life,
Instead, I see
fighting for the parking space closest to the door of the local Walmart
ain't that crazy?
and they all want kids
to carry out some dumb tradition
to get an EDGE
taking steroids and lifting weights
always comparing themselves to some one's else success
it gets tiring tiring tiring tiring
the car, the job, the house, the clothes
keeping up with the Joneses, keeping up with Kardashians
it all gets very stale.
they keep their cliques, and systems and organizations locked into place
it's all very conservative:
which means for their children and grandchildren and friends
This is the sport that the Human Tribe plays
over and over and over
again
