I’m racing at the speed of sound
Nothing is going to slow me down
I’m gone
Quiet as a whisper, quick as a flash
A flash of lightning 
A wisp of light passes me by

No matter what I do someone is better
But I’m still flying
Still running as fast as I can
But it creeps into my mind
I have to go faster
Be the best
If I’m not the best than what am I? 

I’m nothing

It used to be don’t be last
and feel bad for the guy that was
But now you have to be first
Be first and you’ll be happy
Be first and you’ll get the job
Get the girl
Get the life
But maybe I don’t want that
“Too bad,”
“It’s dog eat dog”
“If you’re not first, you’re last” 

I race at the speed of sound, but somebody is going the speed of light.
