Lyrics:

You went away to school
to escape from the land of costume jewels
Well, David choe to stay at home
to get himself a day job on the telephone
selling sterling silver sets of knives
Finally passed the test
to get his licenses to drive
So if you think he's made a wrong turn
there's a lot about people
that you do need to learn

He's afraid of open space
He's afraid there ain't enough
doctors in this place
He's afraid to get a little egg on his face
No, he's not in shape to take part in the race
that you run

You and Dave are on two different tracks
You're the one that finds it difficult to relax
Yeah, David doesn't get up until noon
Can kill the whole day with his jazzy tunes
Spends his evenings chatting on the line
Found himself a girlfriend just the other night
So if you think he's made a wrong turn
If you think that Dave experienced
a crash and burn it's just that

He's afraid of open space
He's afraid there ain't enough
doctors in this place
He's afraid he won't keep pace
If he joins the race, he will not even place
He won't run

(Run run run)
the race that you run
(Run run run)
the race that you run
(Run run run)
Look at what you've become
It's not very fun
in the race that you run

You better take a time out
You better slow it down
You better learn how to take some advice
and let him show you how
Let him show you how...

Hey, you there, sitting up at school
It's not very attractive to be so cruel
Yeah, plenty of people feeling all alone
Plenty people living on a telephone

He's afraid of open space
He's afraid there ain't enough
doctors in this place
He's afraid to get a little egg on his face
so do not pretend he can join in the race that
you run

(Run run run)
the race that you run
(Run run run)
the race that you run
(Run run run)
Really what have you done?
All the races you've run
It's not much fun...
