Rat Race Lyrics

I don't wanna partake in the ratrace

I don't wanna partake in the ratrace

I don't wanna partake in the ratrace

I don't wanna partake

In the rat race

I don't wanna partake in the ratrace

Devote my life to filling out another fat face

I don't wanna be the person that my kids hate

Rewrite our family history with a court date

I don't want a prenup wedding with a warrantee

Don't rat me out for a joke i made in poor taste

I don't wanna look at my love with an off face

Or spend less time with them and more time in the office

It ain't easy

Biting fingers off the hand ain't gonna feed me

But i bring it up like i been feeling queasy

And i watch as the management don't believe me

Human soo but the keeper wouldn't feed me

And i'm making peanuts but i'm only eating weekly

I look around i see the things i saw beneath me

Never felt so further from me

Chasing my tail 8 hours a day i come home and i'm still a slave to the clock

And if i cross my heart and i hope to die then i'll never let them put me in a box

Sentenced to a 9 to 5

Living out the picket fence

Selling on the side cuz corporate isn't paying dividends

Hanging onto every word as if it tightens round my neck

A pay rise pay cut god they keep me in suspense

And i'm loving every thrill of living paycheck to paycheck

Cuz the cheese on the trap is surely as good as it gets right?

Because the cheese on the trap is surely as good as it gets right?

I don't wanna partake in the ratrace

Cuz i've seen what they take in the ratrace

The artificial and the fake in the rat race

I don't wanna partake i don't wanna partake

I don't wanna partake in the ratrace

Cuz i've seen what they take in the ratrace

The artificial and the fake in the rat race

I don't wanna partake i don't wanna partake in the

When i wake up in 40 years

Think of the young boy i once was back when i had no fears

I had ambitions bigger than the definition of the word

Do you think i'd be happy with what i got out the world

When i wake up in 40 years

See my impact on the world through my blurry tears

Id be accomplished in the eyes of my mother dear

But i'd be completely empty vapid inbetween my ears

I see

Role models modelling poverty and honestly if it's a dead end then why is the end following me

I see the wind blow empty windows singing swing low tragedy takes me where the wind blows

I sold my soul to the corporate hands that hold me under

I see my parents in the shipwreck back when they were younger

I swore to them one day if drive them out the thunder

I swore to them i'd be the one to pull them out from under

I don't wanna partake in the ratrace

Cuz i've seen what they take in the ratrace

The artificial and the fake in the rat race

I don't wanna partake i don't wanna partake

I don't wanna partake in the ratrace

Cuz i've seen what they take in the ratrace

The artificial and the fake in the rat race

I don't wanna partake i don't wanna partake in the

I don't wanna partake in the ratrace

Cuz i've seen what they take in the ratrace

The artificial and the fake in the rat race

I don't wanna partake i don't wanna partake
