[Verse 1]
N.C
Multi-million dollar exploration into space,
N.C
While in the name of progress this planet's laid to waste,
N.C
Nation takes on nation and is stepping up the pace,
G minorGm FF G minorGm
And someone's got his finger on(the button).
[Chorus 1]
G minorGm Bb majorBb G minorGm FF G minorGm
Forget the cost we've got to choose,
FF G minorGm
We're running in a race we can only lose.
[Verse 2]
G minorGm FF G minorGm
Rich is rich and poor is poor and ne'er the twain shall meet,
Bb majorBb G minorGm FF G minorGm
East is East and West is West and only one shall eat,
N.C
The microchip has come of age and man is obsolete,
N.C
And someone's got his finger on(the button).
[Chorus 2]
G minorGm FF G minorGm
Forget the cost we've got to choose,
Bb majorBb G minorGm FF G minorGm
'Cause we're running in a race we can only lose.
