Rat Race

Rat Race - The Drifters

Written by：Leiber/Stoller/McCoy

You know it's cruel

Out here in this rat race

There's just one rule

Out here in this rat race

Out her in the jungle

You've got to fight from nine to five

In this steel and concrete jungle

You've gotta fight to stay alive

It's a rat race

You know it's mean yes it is

Out here in this rat race

You can't stay clean no no

Out here in this rat race

If you don't wanna starve

You know you gotta be like a hog

There's no such thing as friendship

Out here it's dog eat dog

It's a rat race

Eat and sleep sleep and eat

Oh lord what a rut

Work and slave slave and work

Work and slave for what

Sometimes I get the feeling

That it isn't worth it bud

When I see my woman standing there

With my kids look at them

Just standing round

Then I say to myself

You know it's worth it all

And that's the reason why

I ain't giving in no no no no no no no

Out here in this rat race

I'm gonna win yes I will

Oh in this rat race
