歌词:

 

Race

Life's a race

But I'm gonna win

Yes, I'm gonna win

And I'll light the fuse

And I'll never lose

And I choose to survive

Whatever it takes

You won't pull ahead

I'll keep up the pace

And I'll reveal my strength

To the whole human race

Yes, I am prepared

To stay alive

I won't forgive

Vengeance is mine

And I won't give in

Because I choose to fight

Yeah, we're gonna win

 

Race

It's a race

But I'm gonna win

Yes, I'm gonna win

And I'll light the fuse

And I'll never lose

And I choose to survive

Whatever it takes

You won't pull ahead

I'll keep up the pace

And I'll reveal my strength

To the whole human race

Yes, I'm gonna win

Yes, I'm gonna win
