Rat Race Lyrics

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
