[Intro] [Verse] Wake me from my sleep a cautionary tale 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" Somebody says "Yes give a little love Give a little love but take your time" [Chorus] A private life well come on now I said "Livin’ gets to be just like a rat race rat race" So come on 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 So come on I’m a locked up in myself [Verse 2] Check before rising Check before we work A childproof the scene No screams can be heard The roof is caving in And the space between our hearts The walls are falling down And somebody says "Ah give a little love Give a little love but take your time" Somebody says "Yes give a little love Give a little love but take your time" [Chorus 2] A private life well come on now I said "Livin’ gets to be just like a rat race rat race" So come on 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 So come on I’m a locked up in myself [Bridge] It’s rat it’s rat it’s rat race It’s a rat it’s a rat race It’s rat it’s rat it’s rat race It’s a rat race Ah life living in a rat race Now come on Life are you living in a rat race? C’mon here inside yourself [Chorus 3] A private life well come on now I said "Livin’ gets to be just like a rat race rat race" So come on 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 So come on I’m a locked up in myself A private life well come on now I said "Livin’ gets to be just like a rat race rat race" So come on 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 So come on I’m a locked up in myself I’ma locked up in myself I’ma locked up in myself
