Rat race

Verse 1

When all you care about is money,

There will never be trust, just waste.

You scroll all night to find something funny,

Copy and paste ‘til the moment fades.

Pre-Chorus

You’re always trying to be somebody,

But the mirrors can not lie.

Running circles, chasing money

And you don’t even know why.

Chorus

Burn it down, break the chains,

Scream it loud through the pouring rain.

Life’s too short for a masquerade,

No more games, no more fake parade!

Verse 2

Plastic smiles on borrowed faces,

Every move just a shallow test.

Building castles out of traces,

But the truth won’t let you rest.

Pre-Chorus

You’re always trying to be somebody,

Until there’s nothing left to prove.

All your idols made of paper,

And the ground begins to move.

Chorus

Burn it down, break the chains,

Scream it loud through the pouring rain.

Life’s too short for a masquerade,

No more games, no more fake parade!

Bridge

Can’t you feel the fire rise?

Tearing down the great disguise.

All the lies you tried to hide,

Now it’s freedom on the other side.

Chorus

Burn it down, break the chains,

Scream it loud through the pouring rain.

Life’s too short for a masquerade,

Take it back—let the real one stay!
