Race To Nowhere
Mr Bruce
GENRE
[Verse 1:]
You start to think about the end before the curtain's up
Don't you know that I see you pretend that you don't give one fuck?
Chin down, shoulders back...
Think of who you could've been with a look like that
Hand down, index up...
Nothing can cover the fact that you're mixed up
I've listened to what you've said...
Still, I don't know what's going on in your head
I try to change your mind
I wouldn't bother, that would be a waste of my time
[Verse 2:]
(You say) Too little, too late
I've got a feeling in my gut that I'm going to be irate
Let me get this straight (huh?)
From me you want to extricate (go look it up)
From me you want to extricate (go look it up)
From me you want to extricate, extricate, extricate
[Chorus:]
We're on a race to nowhere
I can see that you don't care
You look at me and just say 'take me there'
(Can you believe?)
You just say 'take me there'
We're on a race to nowhere
I can see that you don't care
You look at me and just say 'take me there'
(Can you believe?)
You just say 'take me there'
[Verse 3:]
I'm not going to be the man to drive us
Foot down to the floor to the brink of what?
You don't know what's what when it comes to
The mess of a mindset you've now got
You've flipped the tables, unhinged the doors
You've cut the cables, turned out the drawers
You don't begin to know what, how, why
You don't explain, you don't justify
[Verse 4:]
So I'm left thinking about the darkest thoughts of
Other people's lips and other people's hips
I replay the same scene of coming home to find
Eight limbs squirming in a frienzied fit
I've opened too many doors with signs that say
Sad, salacious, sordid and bleak
Patience is a virtue, but you're no saint
Wait for your turn to speak...
[Chorus:]
We're on a race to nowhere
I can see that you don't care
You look at me and just say 'take me there'
(Can you believe?)
You just say 'take me there'
We're on a race to nowhere
I can see that you don't care
You look at me and just say 'take me there'
(Can you believe?)
You just say 'take me there'
[Verse 5:]
You've just jumped off the back of a plane
With no parachute and you're expecting me to jump too
I'd like to think that I could pull off
Some double-O status, freefall rescue
But I'm not willing to tow your line
You deal with your shit, I'll cope with mine
I look at how our journey ends and crash test ways
We could have made amends
I guess I'll just watch you take a bow as the curtain drops
Not even into the second scene when the show just stops
What is it exactly that you expect me to do?
You don't want me but you need me to stand by you
[Chorus:]
We're on a race to nowhere
I can see that you don't care
You look at me and just say 'take me there' (Can you believe?)
You just say 'take me there'
We're on a race to nowhere
I can see that you don't care
You look at me and just say 'take me there' (Can you believe?)
You just say 'take me there'
[Outro:]
(Can you believe?)
(I can see that you don't care)
(I can see that you don't care)
(I can see that you don't care)
(Can you believe?)
(I can see that you don't care)
You start to think about the end before the curtain's up
Don't you know that I see you pretend that you don't give one fuck?
Chin down, shoulders back...

From me you want to extricate (go look it up)
From me you want to extricate (go look it up)
From me you want to extricate, extricate, extricate
[Chorus:]
We're on a race to nowhere
I can see that you don't care
You look at me and just say 'take me there'
(Can you believe?)
You just say 'take me there'
We're on a race to nowhere
I can see that you don't care
You look at me and just say 'take me there'
(Can you believe?)
You just say 'take me there'

(I can see that you don't care)
(I can see that you don't care)
(Can you believe?)
(I can see that you don't care)
