Rat Race - Live At The Roxy
Oh, what a rat race!
Oh, what a rat race!
Oh, what a rat race!
This is the rat race! Rat race!
Some a gorgon-a, some a hooligan-a, some a guine-gog-a
Oh, what a rat race, rat race!
Some a lawful, some a bastard, some a jacket:
In this 'ere rat race
Rat race!
I'm singin'
When the cat's away
The mice will play
Political violence fill ya city, ye-ah!
Don't involve Rasta in your say say
I'm sayin' Rasta don't work for no C.I.A.
Rat race, rat race, rat race, rat race, I'm sayin'
When you think is peace and safety
A sudden destruction
Collective security for surety, ye-ah!
Don't forget your history
Know your destiny
In the abundance of water
The fool is thirsty
Rat race, rat race, rat race!
Rat race!
Oh, it's a disgrace
To see the human-race
In a rat race, rat race!
You got the horse race
You got the dog race
You got the human race
But this is a rat race, rat race!
Oh, it's a disgrace
To see the human-race
In a rat race, rat race!
I'm sayin'
When you think is peace and safety
A sudden destruction
Collective security for surety, ye-ah!
Don't forget your history
Know your destiny
In the abundance of water
The fool is thirsty
Rat race, rat race, rat race!
Rat race
Oh, it's a disgrace
To see the human-race
In a rat race, rat race!
When the cat's away
Mice will play
Political violence fill in the city, ye-ah!
Don't forget your history
Know your destiny
In the abundance of water
The fool is thirsty
Rat race, rat race, rat race!
Rat race
In this yer rat race
Rat race
I'm sayin'
When the cat's away
The mice will play
Political violence fill your city, ye-ah!
Don't involve Rasta in your say say
Rasta don't work for no C.I.A.
Rat race, rat race, rat race, rat race
Oh, what a rat race!
Oh, what a rat race!
This is the rat race! Rat race!
Some a gorgon-a, some a hooligan-a, some a guine-gog-a
Oh, what a rat race, rat race!
Some a lawful, some a bastard, some a jacket:
In this 'ere rat race
Rat race!
I'm singin'
When the cat's away
The mice will play
Political violence fill ya city, ye-ah!
Don't involve Rasta in your say say
I'm sayin' Rasta don't work for no C.I.A.
Rat race, rat race, rat race, rat race, I'm sayin'
When you think is peace and safety
A sudden destruction
Collective security for surety, ye-ah!
Don't forget your history

Rat race, rat race, rat race!
Rat race

Political violence fill your city, ye-ah!
Don't involve Rasta in your say say
Rasta don't work for no C.I.A.
Rat race, rat race, rat race, rat race
