lyrics
the world is not round
it’s becoming square
it’s becoming air
the world is not wide
it’s grown smaller and smaller
burning out from the inside
again and again and again and again
it’s a human race to the finish line
around and around and around and around we go
and where it stops, nobody knows
the world is not safe
it’s spinning too fast
now it may not last
the world is not full
it’s becoming flat
it’s become a battleground again
again and again and again and again
it’s a human race to the finish line
around and around and around and around we go
again and again and again and again
it’s a human race to the bitter end …
to the bitter end
but the world will not end
no, the world will not end
there is more to do, there is more to say, there is time to love
there is more to see, there is more to hear, there is time to feel
there is more to find, there is more to know
there is time to forget the cares of this world
again and again and again and again
it’s a human race to the finish line
around and around and around and around we go
again and again and again and again
it’s a human race to the finish line
it’s a human race to the finish line
it’s a human race to the finish line
around and around and around and around we go
and where it stops, nobody knows
it’s becoming square
it’s becoming air
the world is not wide
it’s grown smaller and smaller
burning out from the inside
again and again and again and again
it’s a human race to the finish line
around and around and around and around we go
and where it stops, nobody knows
the world is not safe
it’s spinning too fast
now it may not last
the world is not full
it’s becoming flat
it’s become a battleground again
again and again and again and again
it’s a human race to the finish line
around and around and around and around we go
again and again and again and again
it’s a human race to the bitter end …
to the bitter end
but the world will not end
no, the world will not end
there is more to do, there is more to say, there is time to love
there is more to see, there is more to hear, there is time to feel
there is more to find, there is more to know
there is time to forget the cares of this world
again and again and again and again
it’s a human race to the finish line
around and around and around and around we go
again and again and again and again
it’s a human race to the finish line
it’s a human race to the finish line
it’s a human race to the finish line
around and around and around and around we go
and where it stops, nobody knows
