Lyrics Rat Race - Billy Idol

Rat Race

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
And somebody says
Ah give a little love
Give a little love
But take your time
A private life
C’mon now
I said livin'
Gets to be
Just like a rat race
Rat race
I’m-a-read between the lines
Fierce struggler
A natural one
A tough job
Gets to be
Just like a rat race
Rat race
I’m locked up in myself
Check before rinsing
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, a little love
Give a little love
But take your time
It’s a rat, its a rat, its a rat race
It’s a rat, it’s a rat race
It’s a rat, its a rat, its a rat race
It’s a rat race
Ahh life
Living in a rat race
Hmm, life
Are you living in a rat race?
Here inside yourself
I’m a locked up in myself
I’m a locked up in myself
