Wake me from my sleep A cautionary tale A walk in infancy A way to derail I wanted to be free And I wanted only you The walls are falling down And somebody says Ah give a little love Give a little love But take your time Chorus A private life C'mon now I said livin' Gets to be Just like a rat race Rat race C'mon I'm-a-read between the lines Fierce struggler A natural one A tough job Gets to be Just like a rat race Rat race C'mon I'm locked up in myself Check before rinsing Check before we work Childproof the scene No screams can be heard The roof is caving in The Space between our hearts The walls are falling down And somebody says Ah give a little love Give a little love Take your time Somebody sighs Yes, a little love Give a little love But take your time Chorus It's a rat, its a rat, its a rat race It's a rat, it's a rat race It's a rat, its a rat, its a rat race It's a rat race Ahh life Living in a rat race C'mon Hmm, life, are you living in a rat race? C'mon Here inside yourself Chorus (2x) I'm a locked up in myself I'm a locked up in myself
