Rat Race — Billy Idol

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

Bridge

And somebody says Give a little love, give a little love But take your time And somebody sighs Yes, 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 stuggle, 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 rising 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

Bridge

Chorus

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

X2

Aah life, living in a rat race, c'mon

Hmm life, are you living in a rat race? C'mon, here inside yourself

Chorus X2

I'm locked up in myself [x2]
