- The Race Lyrics / with translationsShout
(Shout)
Count on me I'm gonna win the race
Count on me I'm gonna win the race
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong
Now shut the door keep down to south
Shut the door keep down to south
Shut the door keep down to south
Not any track is turning but the race is in my head
I'm attacking the illusion but the stopping drives me mad
Time is running out and the illusion fades away
Time is running out another day is on it's way
Another sun was shining and he knew he wasn't great
He didn't ever talk about he knew he couldn't wait
Are you ever gonna push me let me run and let me do?
I need it and I'm ready and I haven't got a clue
Not any track is turning but the race is in my head
I'm attacking the illusion but the stopping drives me mad
Fire away
This is the race
Why?
Burn
Shout
Lies
Give me the race
Another sun was shining and he knew he wasn't great
He didn't ever talk about he knew he couldn't wait
I need this race
Are you ever gonna push me let me run and let me do?
I need it and I'm ready and I haven't got a clue
Any track is turning but the race is in my head
I'm attacking the illusion but the stopping drives me mad
Fire away
Time is running out and the illusion fades away
Time is running out another day is on it's way
This is the race
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen
This is Billy McKloski from Palm Springs reporting for NBC
Sports of America
Twenty seconds to the start of the thirty-first formula race on
A hot sunny afternoon here in California
On the fast lane of the street I'm driving
Sometimes, somewhere, I'm arriving
Every day and every night
Why?
I need this race
Count on me I'm gonna win the race
Count on me I'm gonna win the race
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong
Shut the door keep down to south
Shut the door keep down to south
Shut the door keep down to south
Race in my head
(Shout)
Count on me I'm gonna win the race
Count on me I'm gonna win the race
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong
Now shut the door keep down to south
Shut the door keep down to south
Shut the door keep down to south
Not any track is turning but the race is in my head
I'm attacking the illusion but the stopping drives me mad
Time is running out and the illusion fades away
Time is running out another day is on it's way
Another sun was shining and he knew he wasn't great
He didn't ever talk about he knew he couldn't wait
Are you ever gonna push me let me run and let me do?
I need it and I'm ready and I haven't got a clue
Not any track is turning but the race is in my head
I'm attacking the illusion but the stopping drives me mad
Fire away
This is the race
Why?
Burn

Give me the race
Another sun was shining and he knew he wasn't great
He didn't ever talk about he knew he couldn't wait

Facts about The Race
✔️
The Race is written by Dieter Meier, Boris Blank.
✔️
It is first released in 1988 as part of Yello's album "Flag" which includes 9 tracks in total. This song is the 4th track on this album.
✔️
When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, The Race by Yello is a deep probe into the concerned mind and the obsession with success, equating the race to life's trials and the unyielding chasing of one's objectives. The race lyrics mainly point towards empowerment, inspiration, freedom, angst, and adventure. However, the song also underlines the need for laying down the struggle, the inner turmoil, and the yearning for liberation. Children of the younger age group may find certain wordings and the overall concept of the lyrics to be very abstract and therefore puzzling. The racing and competing themes are highly charged but still not very clear-cut. There is absolutely no bad language, violence, or sexual content, but the abstractness of the lyrics might make it necessary for parents to guide their kids through the listening experience at least in terms of comprehension and appropriateness.
