Wake me from my sleep A cautionary tale A walk in infancy A way to derail I wanted only you The walls are falling down
And somebody says Ah give a little love, Give a little love But take your time
Somebody sighs Yes, give a little love, Give a little love But take your time
[Chorus:] A private life C'mon no I said livin' Gets to be Just like a rate race Rat race C'mon I'm a -read between the lines Fierce struggle A natural one A tough job Gets to be Just like a rate race Rate race C'mon I'm a 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
And somebody says Ah give a little love, Give a little love Take your time
Somebody sighs Yes, give a little love, Give a little love But take your time
[Chorus]
It's a rat, it's a rat, it's a rat race It's a rat, it's a rat race It's a rat, it's a rat, it's a rat race It's a rat, it's a rat race
Aah life Living in a rat race C'mon
Hmm, life Are you living in a rat race? C'mon Here inside yourself
