"Rat Race" lyrics

Twelve hours of work, a few hours to sleep
A couple hours to cook, a couple on the screen
Before I know it, there goes another week
Waste a couple of days off to round the routine

Where did the time go? I'm struggling to see
When the hell I get the chance to do anything of meaning
God, employment's so demeaning

Twelve hours at work, a few hours to sleep
A couple hours of self-care, a few lost reminiscing
On the simple days back when I was sixteen
Not a care in the world, now I'm struggling to eat

Where did the time go? I'm struggling to see
When the hell I get the chance to do anything of meaning
God, employment's so demeaning

Twenty hours of work, couldn't get any sleep
Clocking overtime instead of chasing a dream

Where did the time go? I'm struggling to see
When the hell I get the chance to do anything of meaning
Where did the time go? I'm struggling to see
When the hell I get the chance to do anything of meaning
God, employment's so demeaning
