Beneath the Wheel

Beneath the wheel

Go! Don't be late
first one out of the starting gate
run! Be on time
first one to cross the finish line

swim ahead of the school, if you have to, cheat
if you never slow down, you'll never be beat
if you lose in life, it's because you lagged
keep up with the traffic, or you'll be dragged down
beneath the wheel
beat the wheel
beat the wheel

go! Don't be tardy
fell asleep last night at a party
run! Make the grade
school's a job, but you don't get paid

run at the head of the pack, be the leader in this race
stay up front, just in case
if you lose in life, it's because you lagged
keep up with the traffic, or you'll be dragged down
beneath the wheel

Go! Don't be late
first one out of the starting gate
run! Make the grade
school's a job, but you don't get paid

don't play child's games, they're just a waste of mind
study every night or you might fall behind
dragged down
beat the wheel
beat the wheel

stop! You can't win
but you can always catch up in the end
