Inside a Great Stadium and a Running Race

Gun fires and each and every man digs in They make a shuffle as each runner gets going on his way Tears rise in the stands like water in a glass Some say, "Go this guy" And others, "Go that guy" Packets (?) go and men are jockeying for position Looking more like a herd of angry horses Round the first two bends and men are left behind Arms up and down, legs back and forth Lane 4, now Lane 5 takes the lead Man down! Someone's been tripped up It's clear this man must receive medical attention Man down! (x4) The race goes on, lane 2 pushes front Sweat on the edge of each arm (?) Step step, step step. Find a way to get more speed It's gonna be close
