But remember Beat The Clock doesn’t mean you’ll Beat The World.
If history teaches you anything, and for most people it doesn’t, it’s that you can’t beat the world. Because the deck is stacked against you. And all the other players are waiting for you to mess up so they can use your head for a springboard to their next move. Yes, it’s an exciting game. But it can be a little vindictive and vicious.
So what. Right?
Just remember to get your points while the gettin’s good.
Don’t look back. Unless it’s to see who you left in the dirt.
Alright! Enough of the pre-game pep talk and list of rules…as if there are any. And now, roll that theme song…
Beat The World (and clock)
Every time you turn your back
There’s somebody there to pick your pockets
And so you see there’s more to life
More than love and rockets
Deal with reality the best that you can
Try to remember there’s a higher plan
That’s the only way to beat the world at its own game
Yeah…every time you make your mark
There’s somebody there to erase it
And people say that’s just the way it is
And boy you’d better face it
But you believe there’s gonna be a better day,
So you pray for strength and better words to say
That’s the only way to beat the world at its own game
C’mon and beat the world, and try to leave a dent
But don’t regret the time that you’ve spent
C’mon and beat the world, and try to leave a bruise
You need to know the life that you choose
Is gonna beat the world…
Every time you see the morning news
They talk about another killing
It’s beyond my power to comprehend
How the taking of life could be thrilling
Banish the dark side; live in God’s light
Rise and shine and you can win this fight
That’s the only way to beat the world at its own game
Oh, can you imagine”if we were all serving the True God,
Would we still be living this way?
Instrumental…repeat chorus to end
