A/N: I got a request from firedragon24 asking for "Live and Learn" by Crush 40, the main theme of Sonic Adventure 2, saying it'd be good for Toad and Toadette. I had to mull that over a bit, but then I thought "Sonic is fast… so is Mario Kart", and with MK: Double Dash! being the game Toadette debuted in, I had found my song. I also made reference to the debate about whether there even is a character named Toad, or if all his appearances are just generic Toads stepping up to the plate; I personally think there is a Toad, but I digress… Please enjoy this latest piece and keep the requests coming!

Drive and Learn

Can you feel karts
Moving down the track?
Ooooooh
Looks like you've been lapped again
Yeah
Can you feel time
Dragging down your score
Ooooooh
You try, you try to pass them
Yeah

'Cause you can hardly swallow
Their dust and fame
But you can't help but follow
You're just an extra in their game

Drive and learn!
New today, but veteran tomorrow
Drive and learn!
Forget the works of yesterday
Drive and learn!
Toads will beg while others borrow
Drive and learn!
Think we'll never find our way

Whoa-oh-oh-oh yeah

Can you feel the lines
Picking you up from on high
Yeah
Now you're placed back on the floor
Oh

But you can't hide your sorrow
Toads paid in trade
So you can't help but follow
Generic character in the game

Drive and learn!
Will we be forgotten tomorrow
Drive and learn!
Just in works of yesterday
Drive and learn!
Our slot on the roster's borrowed
Drive and learn!
Or once again, will we play?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

There's a fan searchin' far, so far and wide
There's a role that you dreamed you'd never find
Hold on to "maybe"
("Am-bi-gu-i-ty")

Drive and learn!
Toadette's on the edge of tomorrow
Drive and learn!
Toad's from works of yesterday
Drive and learn!
We won't beg and we won't borrow
Drive and learn!
We're not the NPCs this game

Drive and learn!
Toad Team's on the edge of the race course
Drive and learn!
Keep competitors at bay
Drive and learn!
Make the Gold Rank ours without brute force
Drive and learn!
We will always find a way!

Drive and learn!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Drive and learn!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
