Gun fires and each and every man digs innThey make a shuffle as each runner gets going on his waynTears rise in the stands like water in a glassnnSome say, Go this guy nAnd others, Go that guynPackets (?) go and men are jockeying for positionnLooking more like a herd of angry horsesnnRound the first two bends and men are left behindnArms up and down, legs back and forthnLane 4, now Lane 5 takes the leadnnMan down!nSomeone's been tripped upnIt's clear this man must receive medical attentionnMan down! (x4)nnThe race goes on, lane 2 pushes frontnSweat on the edge of each arm (?)nStep step, step step. Find a way to get more speednIt's gonna be closennn
