"Rat Race" lyrics

I don't wanna be a part of the rat race
A billion people competing for 1st place
You may think the cards are even, but there's no ace
They got it locked up baby, in the briefcase
I don't wanna be a part of the rat race
Where you tell me what to do and at what pace
No I'm not a trained monkey with a pretty face
I ain't gonna dance around for ya, no way

The Rat Race (money, cars, fame)
The Rat Race (some shit never change)
The Rat Race (status, power, name)
The Rat Race (some shit stays the same)

15 seconds of fame, is the prize of the game
Flaunting all your money, on somebody's else jet plane
I'm not fooled by the frames on your Instagram page
Got a big ol' loan and bought yourself a cage
It ain't even your fault, you need a PHD
To understand the smoke of the industry
But it's alluring as hell, and a mighty fine pitch
Man twice I got it and scratched the itch
But "too good to be true" is usually true
And we became a part of a very bland stew
Veggies need to be chopped, flavour formed in a roux
And man let me tell you, we prefer a home brew

The Rat Race (money, cars, fame)
The Rat Race (some shit never change)
The Rat Race (status, power, name)
The Rat Race (some shit stays the same)

The Rat Race (money, cars, fame)
The Rat Race (some shit never change)
The Rat Race (status, power, name)
The Rat Race (some shit stays the same)

Do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
Some shit stays the same

The Rat Race (money, cars, fame)
The Rat Race (some shit never change)
The Rat Race (status, power, name)
The Rat Race (some shit stays the same)

The Rat Race (money, cars, fame)
The Rat Race (some shit never change)
The Rat Race (status, power, name)
The Rat Race (some shit stays the same)
