Lyrics:

You know its cruel
Out here in this rat race
Theres just one rule
Out here in this rat race

Out her in the jungle
Youve got to fight from nine to five
In this steel and concrete jungle
Youve gotta fight to stay alive

Its a rat race

You know its mean, yes, it is
Out here in this rat race
You cant stay clean, no
Out here in this rat race

If you dont wanna starve
You know you gotta be like a hog
Theres no such thing as friendship
Out here, its dog eat dog

Its 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 isnt worth it, bud
When I see my woman standing there
With my kids, look at em
Just standing round

Then I say to myself
You know its worth it all
And thats the reason why
I aint giving in, no, no, no, no

Out here in this rat race
Im gonna win, yes, I will
Oh, in this rat race
