Rat Race Songtext
von Barry Moore

Get up, get up, gotta greet the day
Wake up the kids, yeah, we learn this way
Patience would win if patience could wait
Made sense, doesn′t, but now it's too late
Drill up, drill up, gotta beat the rush
If I told you nothin′, it was because
Information, a poisonous spine
Inform the masses while we got time

Kill up, kill up, no this ain't no game
Out of the woods but not out of range
Out of my head but somethin' insane
Bullets and targets, kids look away

Sorry for nothing, I′m not sorry for you
Lookin′ at my reflection, askin' it what to do
Sorry for nothing, I′m not sorry for you
Lookin' at my reflection, askin′ it what to do


Stuck in a rut that you can't quite see
Eyes sewn shut and it burns to breathe
Destiny, fate, and desire succumb
As we get closer to becoming one
Fed up, fed up with the lies I tell
Some told to you but mostly myself
Honesty draws a line in the sand
Dignity tells me I′m not the man

Kill up, kill up, no this ain't no game
Out of the woods but not out of range
Out of my head but somethin' insane
Bullets and targets, kids look away

Sorry for nothing, I′m not sorry for you
Lookin′ at my reflection, askin' it what to do
Sorry for nothing, I′m not sorry for you
Lookin' at my reflection, askin′ it what to do

Gotta get up out of your headspace
All about breakin' through to that safe space
If in doubt, replay, replicate, replace
Enemies callin′ you to the front gates
But it's not makin' sense to your instinct
And if the reaction is addiction
Morality under condition
Do we call it deception or just fiction?


Sorry for nothing, I′m not sorry for you
Lookin′ at my reflection, askin' it what to do
Sorry for nothing, I′m not sorry for you
Lookin' at my reflection, askin′ it what to do

Sorry for nothing, I'm not sorry for you
Lookin′ at my reflection, askin' it what to do
Sorry for nothing, I'm not sorry for you
Lookin′ at my reflection, askin′ it what to do
