‘It’s not fair’ A petulant cry Familiar echoes of hopelessness “Life’s not fair, Lex. but I didn’t birth a failure. You’re gonna win. No. matter. what.” Some start ahead — born on better tracks — but that doesn’t mean you can’t outrun them. You just gotta try a little harder and you’ll get there… ‘Faster, yes, faster’ ‘Nearly-‘ You might have to step on a few toes to pass the others but one day, I know, you’ll reach them, The People at the top. “But I don’t wanna hurt others Mama” “Sometimes baby, that’s what winning takes” “I’m sorry Lex” Our start lines aren’t equal, some are in different races But Lex, you’re going to win.
