"The Mad Dash" lyrics

Slap the slogans on the t-shirts watch them fly out of the shops
I don't like what I've been thinking, and I think it's time it stops
Mad dash to be the first one and I pray that it's not true
Are you trying to shift the spotlight so the spotlight shines on you?

This might be of little interest it could come as no surprise
The level of the interest I possess
I listen to the outrage, while something inside me dies
The more I hear, the more I could care less

It is stale and it is stagnant
Ever fiber every fragment
Every second we waste on it is a shame
Grab your coat, now you'll be leaving
Hope that you had a nice evening
We thank you for your contribution
And we're glad you came

The cars came off the causeway with a healthy head of steam
Benefits, fund raisers and events
I want to find out that this nightmare here is only a bad dream
Wake up and the world makes perfect sense

It is stale and it is stagnant
Ever fiber every fragment
Every second we waste on it is a shame
Grab your coat, now you'll be leaving
Hope that you had a nice evening
We thank you for your contribution
And we're glad you came
