No prizes call, the contest is my opium

Since you can never be sure

When they're keeping the score

You must always be ready to run

I tense myself

Waiting for the starting gun

No time for fun

Because



I work all day and I think all night

I break my body but that's alright

'Cos it'll take my mind and all my might

To keep one step ahead of you



I think to myself living is a winning school

Winning on your feet, winning on the street

Winning as a golden rule

It's seems there's always a test

And I'm doing my best

But there still seems a long way to go

I try myself

Trying everything I know

Pushing me so

So



(Chorus)



Don't wanna know why

Don't wanna know how or when or who

One step ahead

One more step ahead just to get me through



I try my best

Here comes another test

So wicked, no rest

Because



(Chorus 2x)
