Toda a música segue em: / Bm / A / Ah! Ya too rude Oh what a rat race Oh what a rat race This is the 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 cats away The mice will play Political violence fill ya 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
