Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Run away from all your boredom
Run away from all your whoredom
And wave
Your worries and cares, goodbye
[Verse 2]
All it takes is one decision
A lot of guts
A little vision
To wave
Your worries and cares, goodbye
[Verse 3]
It's a maze
For rats to try
It's a maze
For rats to try
[Verse 4]
It's a race
A race for rats
A race for rats to die
It's a race
A race for rats
A race for rats to die
[Verse 5]
Sick and tired of Maggie's farm
She's a bitch
With broken arms
To wave
Your worries and cares, goodbye
[Verse 6]
It's a maze
For rats to try
It's a maze
For rats to try
[Verse 7]
It's a race
A race for rats
A race for rats to die
It's a race
A race for rats
A race for rats to die
[Verse 8]
It's a race
A race for rats
A race for rats to die
It's a race
A race for rats
A race for rats to die
[Verse 9]
Burn away
Run away
Run away
Run away
[Verse 10]
Run away
Run away
Run away
Run away
[Verse 11]
Run away
