We've got to face the face

You must have heard the cautionary tales

The dangers hidden on the cul-de-sac trails

>From wiser men who have been through it all

And the ghosts of failures spray-canned up on the wall

We've got to judge the judge

Got to find the finds

We've got to scheme the schemes

Have to line the lines

We must stake the stakes

And show the shown

We must take the takes

And know the known

Try to place the place

Where we can face the face

Face the face-got to

Face the face

You must have tried and the defied belief

Maybe found futility in insular grief

I need your hunger just as you need mine

A million appetites can swallow up time

We've got to fool the fools

And plan the plans

We must rule the rules

Got to stand the stands

We must fight the fight

And fall the falls

We must light the light

And call the calls

We must race the race

So we can face the face

New York! Chicago!

London and Glasgow!

Keep looking!

Keep on cooking

Keep on looking

Gotta stay on this case

Study the pix

Watch the fix

We've got to find the face

Try to place the place where we can face the face
