Rat race

Rat Race

Verse 1

Wake up to the siren of another day,

Chasing paper dreams that just fade away.

Nine to five chains, we wear them with pride,

But the clock keeps stealing what’s left inside.

Pre-Chorus

We trade our hours, we sell our youth,

For a promise that never tells the truth.

Chorus

We’re running in the rat race, going nowhere fast,

Building golden cages that will never last.

Every breath we borrow, every dream erased,

Just another victim of the endless rat race.

Verse 2

Screens keep screaming what we need to buy,

But the more we feed it, the more we die.

Families broken for a higher wage,

Hearts grow silent in the gilded cage.

Pre-Chorus

We’re counting numbers, but losing time,

Living for pennies while the soul declines.

Chorus

We’re running in the rat race, going nowhere fast,

Building golden cages that will never last.

Every breath we borrow, every dream erased,

Just another victim of the endless rat race.

Bridge

What if we stop, what if we choose,

A life that we’re free to win or lose?

The richest treasure can’t be sold,

It’s love, it’s truth, it’s a heart of gold.

Chorus

No more running in the rat race, I’m breaking free,

Tearing down the chains that once buried me.

Every moment matters, no more time to waste,

I’m stepping out forever from the endless rat race.
