7. The Fastest Man In The World (0842) (I)

TheLostConnectionA.I.M

[Intro]
[strummed acoustic guitar, clean electric guitar lead riff]

[Verse 1]
[tenor male vocals]
The fastest man in the world didn't want to race
He knew he was the fastest and knowledge he embraced
People tried to force him into competition
He didn't feel the need so he stuck to his decision

[Chorus]
[full band enters, driving bass, open hi-hats]
He felt good inside and the fact that no one knew
Wasn't really an issue, nothing he needed to do
There was no reason to prove the speed at which he ran
He was comfortably employed, a fit and healthy man

[Chorus]
The fastest man in the world didn't want to race
He knew he was the fastest and knowledge he embraced
People tried to force him into competition
He didn't feel the need so he stuck to his decision

[Verse 2]
[electric guitar lead fills]
He knew he was the fastest, he lived a pleasant life
He had no need for fame, he didn't need the strife
He wanted no attention, enjoyed his privacy
No need for recognition, unknown he could be
He had a caring woman, he was a caring man
To be anything more was never his plan
Some people despised him, said it was a waste
To have such a talent that never ever raced

[Chorus]
The fastest man in the world didn't want to race
He knew he was the fastest and knowledge he embraced
[Guitar Solo]
[distorted electric guitar solo over driving rhythm section]

[Bridge]
[palm-muted electric guitar, drums drop to kick and snare only]
Two trains of thought, neither's right or wrong
Contention is so pleasing but temptation can be strong
Proving you're the best is unnecessary
It's the knowing that counts, but some may say to the contrary
[Full band returns]
To the contrary!

[Outro]
[bright synth pads]
Happiness is cool, but fame can be scary
The fastest man in the world lived a happy life
And remained happily living with his children and his wife
Happiness is paramount, fame ruins people's lives
[Chorus]
The fastest man in the world didn't want to race
He knew he was the fastest and knowledge he embraced
The fastest man in the world didn't want to race
He knew he was the fastest and knowledge he embraced
People tried to force him into competition
He didn't feel the need so he stuck to his decision
The fastest man, the fastest man, the fastest man, the fastest man in the world
[Cymbal crash, audience applause]
