Rat Race

Wake me from my sleep, a cautionary tale

Walk in infancy, a way to derail

I wanted to be free and I wanted only you

The walls are falling down

And somebody says

"Oh, give a little love, give a little love, but take your time"

Somebody sighs

"Yes, give a little love, give a little love, but take your time"

Private life, well, come on now

I said livin' gets to be just like a rat race, rat race

So come on, I'ma read between the lines

Fierce struggler, a natural one, a tough job

Gets to be just like a rat race, rat race

So come on, I'm locked up in myself

Check before rising, check before we work

I childproof the scene, no screams can be heard

The roof is cavin' in, and the space between our hearts

The walls are fallin' down

Somebody says

"Oh, give a little love, give a little love, but take your time"

Somebody says

"Yes, give a little love, give a little love, but take your time"

Private life, well, come on now

I said livin', it gets to be just like a rat race, rat race

So come on, I'ma read between the lines

Fierce struggler, a natural one, a tough job

Gets to be just like a rat race, rat race

So come on, I'm locked up in myself

It's a rat, it's a rat, it's a rat race

It's a rat, it's a rat race

It's a rat, it's a rat, it's a rat race

It's a rat, it's a rat race

A life livin' in a rat race

Come on

Life, are you livin' in a rat race?

Come on, here inside yourself

Private life, well, come on now

I said livin', it gets to be just like a rat race, rat race

So come on, I'ma read between the lines

Fierce struggler, a natural one, a tough job

It gets to be just like a rat race, rat race

So come on, I'm locked up in myself

Private life, come on now

I said livin', it gets to be just like a rat race, rat race

So come on, I'ma read between the lines

Fierce struggler, a natural one, a tough job

It gets to be just like a rat race, rat race

So come on, I'm all locked up in myself

I'm all locked up in myself

I'm all locked up in myself
