The Rat Race
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It’s been a decade since we first began
A journey into an unknown land
Together we hit together we admit
Together we rock together we are just gone
All the non believers and music haters
While there playing us in their elevators
Yeah we got each other yeah we got our song
We may fight like brothers till we get along
So why wont the world get off our case
Were tired of this game
So sick of the rat race
There are those who'd rather see us fail
And just electrocute on the third rail
Like the press they tried to poke fun at us
Call us geeks and freaks in a tour bus
All the non believers yeah we'll prove them wrong
While the youth will know the words to every song
To the ones that think that were not the best
We've been through hell and back and conquered every test
So why wont the world get off our case
Were tired of this game
So sick of the rat race
Seen a million faces and rocked them all
Gone a billion miles to feel very small
? that we'll leave behind
Cause our music will stand the test of time
Too all our fans who supported us
We were grateful to you we trust
Too the ones who think it's the good life
Who’s to say that they were right
Why won’t the world get off our case (get off our case)
Were tired of this game (tired of the game)
So sick of the rat race
Why wont the world (why wont the world) get off our case (get off our case)
Were tired of this game (tired of the game)
So sick of the rat race
