<p><strong>RAT RACE – Andi Hayes c. 2016<br /></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Well, you can live your life like the walking dead</strong></p>
<p><strong>Or you can live your life dreaming in your bed</strong></p>
<p><strong>Or you can live your life pushing your whole face</strong></p>
<p><strong>In the hole in the middle in the cold sour middle of the rat race</strong></p>
<p><strong>Yeah, the human race</strong></p>
<p><strong>Pushing your whole face</strong></p>
<p><strong>Til it burns, exploding in the rat race </strong></p>
<p><strong>Take your place now, baby</strong></p>
<p><strong>Got a place for you</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>You’ve got a choice, you’ve got a voice </strong></p>
<h1>You should use it</h1>
<p><strong>You’re not a rat in a maze</strong></p>
<p><strong>Find the miracle in your day</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Well, it’s not a walk in the park</strong></p>
<p><strong>It’s going to get pretty dark</strong></p>
<p><strong>I never promised you a rose garden, honey</strong></p>
<p><strong>In fact you better run while you’ve still got legs </strong></p>
<p><strong>Before you’re lying on the floor sucking up those dregs</strong></p>
<p><strong>It’s a rat race baby, you’re losing air</strong></p>
<p><strong>And you’re still nowhere</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>You’ve got a choice, you’ve got a voice</strong></p>
<p><strong>You should use it</strong></p>
<p><strong>You’re not a rat in a maze</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Take your place in the rat race</strong></p>
<p><strong>Take your place in the rat race</strong></p>
<p><strong>Take your place in the rat race, baby</strong></p>
<p><strong>Got a place for you, got a place for you</strong></p>
<p><strong>Got a place for you</strong></p>
