Gun fires and each and every man digs in
They make a shuffle as each runner gets going on his way
Cheers rise in the stands like water in a glass
Some say "go this guy" and others "go that guy"
Packets going men are jockeying for position
Looking more like a herd of angry horses
Round the first two bends and men are left behind
Arms up and down legs back and forth lane 4 now lane 5 takes the lead
Man down; someones been tripped up
It's clear this man must recieve medical attention
Man down, Man down, Man down
Race goes on lane 2 pushes front
Sweat on the edges each side
Step step step step find a way to get more speed
It's gonna be close
