Lyrics:

Ah! Ya too rude
Oh what a rat race
Oh what a rat race
Oh what a rat race
This is the rat race, rat race

Some a lawful, some a bastard
Some a jacket
Oh what a rat race, rat race

Some a gorgan, some a hooligan
Some a guine-gog
In this rat race, yeah
Rat race, I'm singing
When the cat's away
The mice will play
Political violence fill your city, yea-ah
Don't involve Rasta in your say say
Rasta don't work for no C.I.A.
Rat race, rat race, rat race

When you think its 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

Oh it's a disgrace
To see the Human race
In a rat race, 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
