Rat Race

Waking up, I 'm faced with the things I should do
 My dreams were so nice, I wish they'd come true
 My perfect day is a clean empty page
 To do what I want and get out of this cage
 I'm gonna' leave this maze, leave this rat race behind
 Rat race, rat race, rat race
 Rat race, rat race, rat race
 We're told what to buy, except when we sleep
 Business makes money and keep us all sheep
 We're bound up by rules that curtail our lives
 We're taxed more each year while the government thrives
 I'm gonna' leave this maze, leave this rat race behind
 Rat race, rat race, rat race
 Rat race, rat race, rat, race
 Gonna' kick off my shoes, walk in the rain, turn off my fuse
 And slow down time to find a sweeter life
 Why don't you come with me
 We'll lie down under the willow tree
 And see how good the world could be
 We'll get away and say goodbye
 Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
 Rat race must end, rat race must cease
 Leave us alone so we can live our lives in peace
 Rat race must end, rat race must cease
 Leave us alone so we can live our lives in peace
 What ever happened to good common sense
 People make mistakes at my expense
 I'll move to an Island and live off the land
 Sing my own music, make up my own band
 I'm gonna' leave this maze, leave this rat race behind
 I'll become a dragonfly and escape this swamp when I fly up high
 And slow down time to find a sweeter life
 Why don't you come with me
 We'll hang out in the willow tree
 And see how good the world could be
 We'll get away and say goodbye
 Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
 Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
 Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
 Goodbye
