The Race is On, The King is Dead

Robert Pollard

[Chorus]
The race is on, the king is dead
The shit is on appointed heads

[Verse 1]
Now he's got a son
"And you got a daughter," he said
The bridge is drawn
The suitcase is on the bed

[Verse 2]
The show goes on
The spoilers lose the day
The spotlight on
Girls who flew away
From jigsaw laws
The tanners who remained
We're drunken frat boys through
Initiation gained

[Verse 3]
"Greetings, noble Caesar
We have come to congratulate
You on your successful crossing
Of the Rubicon"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Circling to back around
New and used
Challenging
"All join on"

[Chorus]
The race is on, the king is dead
The race is on, the king is dead

[Verse 5]
Every single highway
Is the wrong way home
Traffic information directing
Turn around
Check your odometer
Turn your headlights on
