Race for the Prize
The Flaming Lips Lyrics

One, two, one!
The race for the cure has begun, with two scientists ready to take on the challenge.

Two scientists are racing
Two competing scientists are in a race to find a cure for the benefit of humanity.

For the good of all mankind
The scientists are not only racing for themselves but for the betterment of the entire human population.

Both of them side-by-side
The two scientists are neck and neck, in a heated competition.

So determined
The scientists are resolute and focused on winning the race, despite its dangers.

Locked in heated battle
Both scientists are in fierce competition with one another in pursuit of the prize.

For the cure that is their prize
The scientists are racing to win the cure, which is the ultimate reward.

But it's so dangerous
The pursuit for the cure entails life-threatening risks.

Theirs is to win, If it kills them
The scientists are willing to risk their lives to win the prized cure.

They're just humans, With wives and children
The scientists, despite their intelligence, are still mere humans with families, adding to the sense of urgency and risk intensity.

Upwards to the vanguard
The scientists are at the forefront of scientific advancement, racing for the cure.

Where the pressure is too high
The pressure on the scientists is enormous and almost unbearable.

Under the microscope, Hope against hope
The scientists are under immense scrutiny and working against all odds to find the cure.

Forging for the future
The scientists are working tirelessly to forge a path to a better future.

But to sacrifice their lives
The pursuit of the cure puts their lives in constant danger and requires life-threatening sacrifice.
