rat race

you know it's cruel

out here in this rat race

there's just one rule

out here in this rat race

out her in the jungle

you've got to fight from nine to five

in this steel and concrete jungle

you've gotta fight to stay alive

it's a rat race

you know it's mean

yes

it is

out here in this rat race

you can't stay clean

no

no

out here in this rat race

if you don't wanna starve

you know you gotta be like a hog

there's no such thing as friendship

out here

it's dog eat dog

it's a rat race

eat and sleep

sleep and eat

oh

lord

what a rut

work and slave

slave and work

work and slave for what?

sometimes i get the feeling

that it isn't worth it

but

when i see my woman standing there

with my kids

look at em

just standing round

then i say to myself

you know it's worth it all

and that's the reason why

i ain't giving in

no

no

no

no

out here in this rat race

i'm gonna win

yes

i will

oh

in this rat race
