Rat Race
The programming begins when you go to school
Eat when we tell you, do your tasks, follow the rules
It's time to join the rat race get in line
Just do everything that we say and you'll be set free in time
Alarm clock's blaring in the morning sun
You can't escape no matter how fast you can run
You're now a part of the rat race hold the line
There's nothing to worry about, we'll compensate you for your time
Work overtime eight days a week
Fifty two weeks a year
Maybe you'll get some paid time off
But you can't spend it here
Just keep consuming do your part
Do everything they tell you
Get that promotion, work more hours
And buy everything they sell you
You've worked your entire life, gave up most your time
All the things you wanted to do, it's too late you've come to find
You've finally beaten the rat race feeling fine
You worked your entire life, now you're just in time to die
Work overtime eight days a week
Fifty two weeks a year
Maybe you'll get some paid time off
But you can't spend it here
Just keep consuming do your part
Do everything they tell you
Get that promotion, work more hours
And buy everything they sell you
A brand new baby just came into life
Assigned a number and a place in this device
Eat when we tell you, do your tasks, follow the rules
It's time to join the rat race get in line
Just do everything that we say and you'll be set free in time
Alarm clock's blaring in the morning sun
You can't escape no matter how fast you can run
You're now a part of the rat race hold the line
There's nothing to worry about, we'll compensate you for your time
Work overtime eight days a week
Fifty two weeks a year
Maybe you'll get some paid time off
But you can't spend it here
Just keep consuming do your part
Do everything they tell you
Get that promotion, work more hours
And buy everything they sell you
You've worked your entire life, gave up most your time
All the things you wanted to do, it's too late you've come to find
You've finally beaten the rat race feeling fine
You worked your entire life, now you're just in time to die
Work overtime eight days a week
Fifty two weeks a year
Maybe you'll get some paid time off
But you can't spend it here
Just keep consuming do your part
Do everything they tell you
Get that promotion, work more hours
And buy everything they sell you
A brand new baby just came into life
Assigned a number and a place in this device
