Lyrics:

Wake me from my sleep

A cautionary tale

A walk in infancy

A way to derail

I wanted to be free

And I wanted only you

The walls are falling down



And somebody says

Ah give a little love

Give a little love

But take your time



Chorus

A private life

C'mon now

I said livin'

Gets to be

Just like a rat race

Rat race

C'mon

I'm-a-read between the lines

Fierce struggler

A natural one

A tough job

Gets to be

Just like a rat race

Rat race

C'mon

I'm locked up in myself



Check before rinsing

Check before we work

Childproof the scene

No screams can be heard

The roof is caving in

The Space between our hearts

The walls are falling down



And somebody says

Ah give a little love

Give a little love

Take your time



Somebody sighs

Yes, a little love

Give a little love

But take your time



Chorus

It's a rat, its a rat, its a rat race

It's a rat, it's a rat race

It's a rat, its a rat, its a rat race

It's a rat race



Ahh life

Living in a rat race

C'mon



Hmm, life,

are you living in a rat race?

C'mon

Here inside yourself



Repeat Chorus twice



I'm a locked up in myself

I'm a locked up in myself
