Rat Race

Trapped upon the freeway

The kitchen in the air

Static on the radio

Confusion everywhere

Panic in the subway

A hustle in the street

Trying to meet a deadline

Impossible to meet

Do you want to join the rat race?

Would you like to be in first place?

If you say you'll do your best, friend

If you win again

Then you're ready for the rat race

I can see it written on your face

Welcome to the rat race

Corporation yes man

And no one knows your name

The first to take the credit

But you're last to take the blame

Office like a battlefield

On the 42nd floor

Pencils turn to switch blades

Executives at war

Do you want to join the rat race?

Would you like to be in first place?

If you say you'll do your best, friend

If you win again

Then you're ready for the rat race

I can see it written on your face

Welcome to the rat race

Can you handle the pressure?

Are you pushing ahead?

Do you think you're a leader?

Do you know where you're led?

Do you want to join the rat race?

Would you like to be in first place?

If you say you'll do your best, friend

If you win again

Then you're ready for the rat race

I can see it written on your face

Welcome to the rat race

Welcome to the rat race

Welcome to the rat race

Welcome to the rat race
