The Mint – Rat Race lyrics

Moving on up to the big town
Going down south where the land is dear
Know a place can't hardly be found
Gotta have the cash to get anything here

Now you're coming up the ladder rung by rung
You stop rock bottom and head for the sky
It's dog eat dog if you wanna get along
You move up quick before you're kicked in the ass

Join the rat race
Join the rat race, it's all in your face
Join the rat race
Join the rat race, gotta keep with the pace

You take with the left and punch with the right
You rip off the young and swindle the old
As you polish your halo, you seem real nice
You're a shark in a suit swimming round a goldfish bowl...

Rat race, rat race, rat race, rat race

(radio)

Now you've made it to the top and you've got your flash car
You've got enough plastic for a lego world
You're so alone in your suburban flat
You've got all you want and now what was it for

Join the rat race
Join the rat race, come on fight for your place
Join the rat race
Join the rat race, it's not about grace
Join the rat race, it's all in your face
Join the rat race, come on keep with the pace
Join the rat race, come on fight for your place
Join the rat race, it's not about grace...
