It's a hectic world and it makes me a nervous wreck
It's a hectic world and I've got no intellect
It's a rat race, God what a race
It's a rat race, it's a disgrace
You gotta keep up with the crowd
If you can't be quiet then you gotta be loud
It's a rat race, it's a rat race, it's a rat race
Hey! You!
Tryin' to get ahead is what I'm supposed to do
No matter what I do I gotta get ahead of you
It's a rat race, God what a pace
It's a rat race, it's a disgrace
You gotta keep up with the crowd
If you can't be quiet then you gotta be loud
It's a rat race, it's a rat race, it's a rat race.
