piliburuk"Rat race" in lyrics
Again, every night
But I’m fresh
I’ve escaped the rat race
Yes tonight
They only love each other when they hate the same things
That's why I'm lying here, there's nothing awesome to miss
Only panic alarm in the rat race, how they still sugar coat everything
Grotty jobs in the beehive but they sacrifice their life to the queen
Oh they got me in a bad place
Might crash the whip in the valet
All bout my cheese, it's a rat race
If you ain't in first you in last place
Coa White - Yes, Ai-chan and Akari-chan!
The nights when you just want to forget everything--
The way you hold back your tears is cute
People are driving themselves crazy in the rat race out there--
Don't worry about your problems, just dance!
Starmania (Musical) - SOS From an Earthling in Distress
I don’t want to be a robot
The rat race is not for me
This love story is getting tiring
Like running the rat race
A racing game to catch you
Often when I’m hit by sudden realizations , i would feel relieved
I won’t give up, I can’t give up
I’m torn, caught between the rock and a hard place life’s a rat race
God knows how much I’ve been through
Die Antwoord - I Fink U Freeky
My crew's blowing up like Chappies bubblegum
Popping in your face, nyaaaa
Yo fuck the rat race my style is rap rave
My crew is kak fresh, so who the fuck cares?
All night long I wanna dance
Each day feels like a rat race
Like I’m spinning around every day
Half awake I switch on the Television. A flood of images streams into my weary head.
Murders, burglary, and fatal accidents. New fads and idols. I don’t want to hear it.
I don’t have any time for relaxation. Life stuck in the rat race is wearing us down.
All I want is something nice for a change. All we want is something nice for a change.
I've become a show-off, like some kind of vain exhibitionist.
At the end of the rat race, we're ashamed of the meaninglessness of such an existence.
But in the end, we've all contributed to the intention of the masses.
Vasilis Tsitsanis - We are ghetto brothers
(chorus)
Even if the rat race
constantly is soaking us with showers
You got the dog race;
You got the human-race;
But this is a rat race, rat race!
Yeah I got a bad case
Sad face
You're caught up in a rat race
Bet you end up with a girl
you should raise your pants and other right-wing shit
Too many have been captured to the rat race
pure atheist, to me the spray can a bible
Silbermond - Something that Lasts
Give me a shoulder I can lean onto
And lull me into safe certitude
Get me out of this rat race world
And slow the tempo in my life down
Bob Dylan - It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)
While one who sings with his tongue on fire
Gargles in the rat race choir
Bent out of shape from society's pliers
Manfred Mann's Earth Band - I'm Up And I'm Leaving
I'm up and I'm leaving
Gettin' out of this place
Gonna get on the Green Line to join the rat race
I'm up and I'm leaving
[Verse 2:]
There he is again, your best enemy.
Recently, it looks like a rat race.
The media won’t acknowledge that I’m a changed man
Thought to himself
Oops I've got a lot of money
I'm caught in a rat race terminally
I'm a professional cynic
