it's a hectic world

it's a hectic world and it makes me a nervous wreck

it's a hectic world and i've got no intellect

it's a rat race

god

what a pace

it's a rat race

it's a disgrace

you gotta keep up with the crowd

if you can't be quiet then you gotta be loud

it's a rat race

it's a rat race

it's a rat race

hey!

you!

trying to get ahead is what i'm supposed to do

no matter what i do i gotta get ahead of you

it's a rat race

god

what a pace

it's a rat race

it's a disgrace

you gotta keep up with the crowd

if you can't be quiet then you gotta be loud

it's a rat race

it's a rat race

it's a rat race
