Verse
[D] [A]
Everybody's born to compete as he chooses
[Bm] [F#m]
But how can someone win if winning means that someone loses.
[G] [D]
I sit and see and wonder what it's like to be in touch.
[Em] [A]
No wonder all my brothers and my sisters need a crutch.
[D] [A]
I want to be a human being not a human doing.
[Bm] [F#m]
I couldn't keep that pace up if I tried.
[G] [D]
The source of my intention really isn't crime prevention.

My intention is prevention of the lie (yeah)
