We're going to stop this world from turning.
We build it up,
you knock it down.
If you go high, then we'll go higher.
Beyond the sky,
without a sound.
It's gonna take a lot, but we've got plenty.
Keep building up,
keep moving round.
If you use ten, then we'll use twenty.
They're up above
and underground,
all around.
We want,
we lot,
we count it up to cost.
And we even out the scores, we are contenders.
I'm telling you, so pay attention.
These words are truth,
come from above.
In God we trust, and he has told me.
I need you now,
and I'm talking love.
We want a piece of what you're selling.
Put up your hands,
and face the wall.
How much it costs, there is no telling.
How much it costs, to walk so small.
It's truth,
we dare,
we people just don't care.
We've got you running scared, we are contenders.
Rich or poor, or hiding from the law.
You know what,
we've got it all,
we are contenders.
You're black or white,
Arab,
Christian,
Israelite.
We are hiding in plain sight, we are contenders.
Don't bother asking for a favor.
I always get all that I want.
Though some are foolish, we are braver,
than those who do not have a bond.
Forget the turning of the seasons.
Let's escalate,
and never stop.
And yes, we've talked, but for no reason.
Let's start again, right from the top.
Countdown.

Got
the world on a string,
but it ain't got that swing.
You speed it up,
we slow it down.
The frontier wilder than the west, ever was.
And we'll share a crown,
of this outlaw town.
So Superman, if you are listening,
help us out.
You're on the team.
For truth and justice,
the American way,
to fight for rights,
not what it seems.
With the guns, more so,
there is no reward.
But we're fighting on, we are contenders.
We've won,
or we've lost, and we've counted up the cost.
And we've evened out the scores,
we are contenders.
So black,
or white, Arab, Christian, Israelites,
we are hiding in plain sight, we are contenders.
The virgin birth, is going to claim the earth.
We know what you're worth, we are contenders.
