Competition Lyrics & Chords By Diesel Park West

I took a rose, a perfect rose
Carried it from the garden
But should've known, nothing grows
Without the light from the place where it belongs

And like the rose I meant to show
Everything in innocence and purity
But soon became wise I'm afraid
To the crude necessity of competition

All over the world, yeah, the game goes on
All over the world, competition
And when it's over, hope the best man won
All over the world and under the sun
Competition, though it's all been done
There's still competition

A city street where people meet
Taking about nothing in particular
Old Jimmy's dead, yeah, I heard it said
But actually I've got to get going now
I've a busy day

All over the world, it's not that much fun
All over the world, naked competition
It's getting serious like an obsession
All over the world and under the gun
Competition, I thought it's all been done
There's still competition

And it goes on, on, on
Yeah, it goes on, on, on

Happiness is, yeah
Happiness is, yeah
Happiness is just a paper chase
Key to the car, yeah
Keys to the house, yeah
But my brother's keeper I turn away
Hide my face
Don't feel any guilt at all

All over the world, now the walls are down
All over the world, there's nothing else around
There's gonna be a fall, it's what we've become
That's the real payoff
Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mmm, competition
It's the bright new age of competition
All seem like slaves to competition

Yeah, and it goes on, on, on
Yeah, it goes on, on, on
Yeah, it goes on, on, on

All over the world, competition
All over the world, competition
Yeah, it goes on, on, on
