Lyric Rat Race

You re working at your leisure to learn the things you ll need
The promises you make tomorrow carry no guarantee
I ve seen your qualifications, you 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 world 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 carry no guarantee
I ve seen your qualifications, you 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
