Two scientists were racing
For the good of all mankind
Both of them side by side
So determined
Locked in heated battle
For the cure that is their prize
But it's so dangerous
But they're determined

Theirs is to win
If it kills them
They're just humans
With wives and children

Upwards to the vanguard
Where the pressure is too high
Under the microscope
Hope against hope

Forging for the future
But to sacrifice their lives
Both of them side by side
So determined

Theirs is to win
If it kills them
They're just humans
With wives and children

Theirs is to win
It will kill them
They're just humans
With wives and children

Review about Race for the Prize
The Most Brilliant Song I' ve ever heard!!! | Reviewer: Gamblis | 8/17/2007

If "Do you realize" teach us to learn about life, "Everybody Hurt" from REM tells about humanity, and this song was brilliant cause it's concept. If I had to wrote a song, i never imagined i could wrote about two scientists that locked up in heated battle for the good of all mankind. With a such beatiful melody, this song will blow your heart everytime you hear it.
