Rat Race Songtext
von Raine Maida

Like the movers and the shakers, I can feel the pressure burn
Like you, I′m caught up in the race
I'm addicted to the rush, under stress, a prisoner
And I don′t even know my name

Sometimes I feel like I've been wasting precious time
Life passes by when you're slaving to the grind
What really matters when I cross the finish line
Am I wasting my life?

When I′m reaching for the answers I can never trust my lust
I′m only reaping what I sow
If I'm a lover of the money, I will never have enough
Can′t take it with you when you go

Right now I feel like I've been wasting precious time
Life passes by when you′re slaving to the grind
What really matters when I cross the finish line
I know I'm wasting my life


Caught up in a rat race, playing in the devil′s gam
Living in the fast lane, and I'm burning the flame
Caught up in a rat race, playing in the devil's gave
Living in the fast lane, and I′m feeling the strain
On my life, my life, on my life!

I can′t take it any longer
I can not take much more, oh, no!
I won't waste it any longer
My life is mine no more

I′m caught up in a rat race, playing in the devil's game
Living in the fast lane, and I′m burning the flame
Caught up in a rat race, playing in the devil's gave
Living in the fast lane, and I′m feeling the strain

I'm caught up in a rat race, playing in the devil's game
Living in the fast lane, and I′m burning the flame
Caught up in a rat race, playing in the devil′s gave
Living in the fast lane, and it's time for a change
In my life, my life, in my life!

Rat, rat, rat race!
Caught up in a rat race
