Rat Race

You're working at your leisure to learn the things you'll need

The promises you make tomorrow will carry no guarantee

I've seen your qualifications, you've got a Ph.D.

I've got one art O level, it did nothing for me

Working for the rat race

You know you're wasting your time

Working for the rat race

You're no friend of mine

You plan your conversation to impress the college bar

Just talking about your Mother and Daddy's Jaguar

Wear your political T-shirt and sacred college scarf

Discussing the worlds situation but just for a laugh

You'll be working for the rat race

You know you're wasting your time

Working for the rat race

You're no friend of mine

Working for the rat race

You know you're wasting your time

Working for the rat race

You're no friend of mine

Just working at your leisure to learn the things you don't need

The promises you make tomorrow will carry no guarantee

I've seen your qualifications, you've got a Ph.D.

I've got one art O level, it did nothing for me

Working for the rat race

You know you're wasting your time

You're working for the rat race

You're no friend of mine
