|
We've got to face the face |
|
You must have heard the cautionary tales |
|
The dangers hidden on the cul-de-sac trails |
|
From wiser men who have been through it all |
|
And the ghosts of failures spray-canned up on the wall |
|
We've got to judge the judge |
|
Got to find the finds |
|
We've got to scheme the schemes |
|
Have to line the lines |
|
We must stake the stakes |
|
And show the shown |
|
We must take the takes |
|
And know the known |
|
Try to place the place |
|
Where we can face the face |
|
Face the face-got to |
|
Face the face |
|
You must have tried and the defied belief |
|
Maybe found futility in insular grief |
|
I need your hunger just as you need mine |
|
A million appetites can swallow up time |
|
We've got to fool the fools |
|
And plan the plans |
|
We must rule the rules |
|
Got to stand the stands |
|
We must fight the fight |
|
And fall the falls |
|
We must light the light |
|
And call the calls |
|
We must race the race |
|
So we can face the face |
|
New York! Chicago! |
|
London and Glasgow! |
|
Keep looking! |
|
Keep on cooking |
|
Keep on looking |
|
Gotta stay on this case |
|
Study the pix |
|
Watch the fix |
|
We've got to find the face |
|
Try to place the place where we can face the face |
