Lyrics:

Uh
Ya too rude
Uh
Eh
Oh, what a rat race
Oh, what a rat race
Oh, what a rat race
This is the rat race
Rat race (rat race)
Some a lawful
Some a bastard
Some a jacket
Oh, what a rat race, yeah
Rat race
Some a gorgon-a
Some a hooligan-a
Some a guine-gog-a
In this 'ere rat race, yeah
Rat race
I'm singin'
That when the cat's away
The mice will play
Political voilence fill ya city, ye-ah
Don't involve Rasta in your, say say
Rasta don't work for no CIA
Rat race
Rat race
Rat race, yeah
Rat race
I'm sayin'
When you think is peace and safety
A sudden destruction
Collective security for surety, yeah
Don't forget your history
Know your destiny
In the abundance of water
The fool is thirsty
Rat race
Rat race
Rat race
Rat race
Oh, it's a disgrace
To see the human race
In a rat race, yeah
Rat race
You got the horse race
You got the dog race
You got the human race
But this is a rat race
Rat race
