[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,
GmFGm
And someone's got his finger on(the button).
[Chorus 1]
GmBbGmFGm
Forget the cost we've got to choose,
FGm
We're running in a race we can only lose.
[Verse 2]
GmFGm
Rich is rich and poor is poor and ne'er the twain shall meet,
BbGmFGm
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The microchip has come of age and man is obsolete,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]

Forget the cost we've got to choose,
BbGmFGm
'Cause we're running in a race we can only lose.
