The Rush - from the musical 'Torong'

You’ve seen the same things going down
On the streets of your home town
But the truth when it’s told
Is the same for young and old.

You may think that this is just a game
You may think illusion rules the day
When race is in the heart
And everybody has a part.

In someone’s scheming deal
No respect for what they kill
All the hatred that they feel
Yet they pray to my God when they kneel.

All of life seems like a game
For some of you it’s all the same
Everyday you lay the blame.

And everybody has a part
To ensure a brand new start
Live for today, forget the past
Create moments you want to last
Until the world’s a better place
Until we are one human race.

All of life seems like a game
For some of you it’s all the same
Everyday your excuses are lame.

We don’t have to bend and break
There’s too much that is at stake
Chocolate brown or pig’s ear pink
There’s no way your shit don’t stink
Take a fall and graze your skin
See the blood that flows within
Feel the pain despite the gore
It’s the same when I get sore.

All of life seems like a game
For some of you it’s all the same
Everyday you stake your claim.

You live to immortalize your name
One more step to achieve the fame.
No matter who you crush
Its just part of the rush.
It doesn’t matter what you crush
Because its just a part of this big rush.
