Oh the rat race the rat race living life at a terrible pace
Doggie dog so I take my place high on this human rat race

In old days I recall the door was opened to a friend
When our neighbor was in trouble we lend a helping hand
In so many ways the world was better off than now
Today it's all hurray for me and who cares anyhow
It's the rat race the rat race

We brag about the progress that we made tear apart
Man's already scoff the wound reaching for the stars
With each step that we take forward seems we take to back
When corruption and stagnation is an everyday fact
It's the rat race the rat race

Now everybody's wondering just where just it's gonna end
With friends you can count on the fingers of one hand
We should stand up for what's right and try to get invove
Pullin' freight together and our problems will be solved
But it's the rat race the rat race
Oh it's the rat race the rat race
