Rat Race
Trapped in this town where the sun never shines
In a train underground, we're lost in the tunnel of time
Day after day at the sound of the gun
We fight for positions
Elbow to elbow we run
Our name and our numbers are scrolled in our backs
Don't ever look down man
You'll fall through the cracks
Spinning our wheels in this rat race
Shifting gears, they go round and round
You know how it feels at this fast pace
Run for your life, you can never slow down
I'm down on my luck
I'm falling behind
I was beating the clock, but I've run out of, run out of time
I'm weak in the knees
My heart's gonna fail
First man to the future, or last man left dead on the trail
There's sweat in my eyes, and blood in my hands
It's run for your life man, as fast as you can
Spinning our wheels in this rat race
Shifting gears, they go round and round
You know how it feels at this fast pace
Run for your life, you can never slow down
The whole world is turning at break your neck speed
Can't get what you want man, you get what you need
Run rat run!
Run rat run!
Go!
Run rat run!
Spinning our wheels in this rat race
Shifting gears, they go round and round
You know how it feels at this fast pace
Run for your life, you can never slow down
Spinning our wheels in this rat race
Shifting gears, they go round and round
You know how it feels at this fast pace
Run for your life, you can never slow down
Go!
In a train underground, we're lost in the tunnel of time
Day after day at the sound of the gun
We fight for positions
Elbow to elbow we run
Our name and our numbers are scrolled in our backs
Don't ever look down man
You'll fall through the cracks
Spinning our wheels in this rat race
Shifting gears, they go round and round
You know how it feels at this fast pace
Run for your life, you can never slow down
I'm down on my luck
I'm falling behind
I was beating the clock, but I've run out of, run out of time
I'm weak in the knees
My heart's gonna fail
First man to the future, or last man left dead on the trail
There's sweat in my eyes, and blood in my hands
It's run for your life man, as fast as you can

Shifting gears, they go round and round
You know how it feels at this fast pace
Run for your life, you can never slow down
The whole world is turning at break your neck speed
Can't get what you want man, you get what you need
Run rat run!
Run rat run!
Go!
Run rat run!
Spinning our wheels in this rat race
Shifting gears, they go round and round
You know how it feels at this fast pace
Run for your life, you can never slow down
Spinning our wheels in this rat race
Shifting gears, they go round and round
You know how it feels at this fast pace
Run for your life, you can never slow down
Go!
