Lyrics
Sick and Tired of
wakin' up
to a world-playin' -beat the clock
and rushin out in -to the streets and the
parkin' cars and the
runnin' feet
Well, no one smiles, no one cares
'bout anything 'cept gettin' there...
Welcome to The RAT RACE
Welcome to THE WHEEL
You hit the ground runnin' and-runnin' and- runnin' and they got you runnin' and Master sez it's time for lunch so you hustle out in to the crunch of the crowded streets and the pushin' lines and you swallow fast cause yer out of time, then ya stop and think, get a drink, life is shorter than ya think
Welcome to THE RAT RACE
Welcome to THE WHEEL
