Rat Race - Billy Idol

Wake me from my sleep

A cautionary tale

A 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

A private life

C’mon now

I said livin'

Gets to be

Just like a rat race

Rat race

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

I’m locked up in myself

Check before rinsing

Check before we work

Childproof the scene

No screams can be heard

The roof is caving in

The Space between our hearts

The walls are falling down

And somebody says

Ah give a little love

Give a little love

Take your time

Somebody sighs

Yes, a little love

Give a little love

But take your time

It’s a rat, its a rat, its a rat race

It’s a rat, it’s a rat race

It’s a rat, its a rat, its a rat race

It’s a rat race

Ahh life

Living in a rat race

Hmm, life

Are you living in a rat race?

Here inside yourself

I’m a locked up in myself

I’m a locked up in myself
