It Is A Rat Race!

We fight for land We fight for a brand We fight for our stand We fight on demand O! Yeah! It is a rat race So many more rats I have to face In hundreds we crawl the city pavements This rat era of industrial enslavement Creeping through the tunnels of the underground The rats are forever mass politically duty-bound And with any new evolution We wave ‘hello’ to a new revolution O! Yeah! It is a rat race Every little space is a crowded place Some are going to work Some are going for a walk Some are looking for some luck Some are trying to make a buck We are pests of mother earth Mass copulating until the sun sets Thousands rave and party in music concerts And in mass graves we acknowledge our deaths With shame we cannot bury economic crisis Even with many centuries of wars and peace O! Yeah! It is a rat race We keep on running at a fast pace For the sake of acquiring education Everywhere in mass congregations We place ourselves in institutions We scrounge the cities for daily food And a global circle of waste is regularly issued To our environment! - We do more harm than we do good We fight for fish We fight for our dish We fight for wishes We fight and varnish with many images tarnished O! Yeah! It is a rat race A lasting curse of the human race Copyright 2010 - Sylvia Lovina Chidi
