The Human Race

We've flown to the moon But have we missed the boat along the way? We reached for the stars But are we that far removed from the cave? We've got radios and codaphones, computers We found satellites in space Now everybody's talking So tell me why we can't communicate Are we losing the human race? Do we ever really learn from our mistakes? Who's ahead, who's behind? Will there be a finish line? Are we losing the human race? Nations are starving While we pay our farmers not to grow their grain Fossil fuel is going up in smoke And coming down in acid rain The more that we progress it seems The farther we keep slipping down that drain It's a no-win situation So tell me why we have to play the game Are we losing the human race? Do we ever really learn from our mistakes? Who's ahead, who's behind? Will there be a finish line? Are we losing the human race? Who's ahead, who's behind? Will there be a finish line? Are we losing the human race?
