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

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, bud

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
