[Verse 1]
N.C
Multi-million dollar exploration into space,
N.C
While in the name of progress this planet`s laid to waste,
N.C
Nation takes on nation and is stepping up the pace,
    Gm                   F     Gm
And someone`s got his finger on(the button).
 
[Chorus 1]
Gm             Bb Gm     F           Gm
Forget the cost   we`ve got to choose,
                               F        Gm
We`re running in a race we can only lose.
 
[Verse 2]
Gm                                   F                  Gm
Rich is rich and poor is poor and ne`er the twain shall meet,
                Bb       Gm         F            Gm
East is East and West is West and only one shall eat,
N.C
The microchip has come of age and man is obsolete,
N.C
And someone`s got his finger on(the button).
 
[Chorus 2]
Gm                     F           Gm
Forget the cost we`ve got to choose,
                          Bb      Gm   F       Gm
`Cause we`re running in a race we can only lose.

While someone`s got his finger on(the button).
