The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
The Mad Dash
[Verse 1]
Slap the slogans on the t-shirts
Watch them fly out of the shops
I don't like what I've been thinking
And I think it's time it stops
Mad dash to be the first one
And I pray that it's not true
Are you trying to shift the spotlight
So the spotlight shines on you?

[Verse 2]
This might be of little interest, it could come as no surprise
The level of the interest I possess
I listen to the outrage while something inside me dies
The more I hear, the more I could care less

[Chorus]
It is stale and it is stagnant
Ever fiber every fragment
Every second we waste on it is a shame
Grab your coat, now you'll be leaving
Hope that you had a nice evening
We thank you for your contribution
And we're glad you came

[Verse 3]
The cars came off the causeway with a healthy head of steam
Benefits, fund raisers, and events
I want to find out that this nightmare here is only a bad dream
Wake up and the world makes perfect sense
[Chorus]
It is stale and it is stagnant
Ever fiber every fragment
Every second we waste on it is a shame
Grab your coat, now you'll be leaving
Hope that you had a nice evening
We thank you for your contribution
And we're glad you came
