Race for the Prize (Sacrifice of the New Scientists) - The Flaming Lips

Two scientists are racing

For the cure 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 so high

Under the microscope

Hope against hope

Forging for the future

But to sacrifice their lives

Both of them side by side

So determined
