[Verse 1]
It’s a hectic world, making me a nervous wreck
It’s a hectic world, wish I had no intellect

[Chorus]
It’s a rat race
God, what a pace
It’s a rat race
It’s a disgrace
You gotta keep up with the crowd
If you can’t be quiet then I gotta be loud
(It's a rat race)
(It's a rat race)
(It's a rat race)

[Bridge]
Hey
You

[Verse 2]
Trying to get ahead is what I’m supposed to you
No matter what I do I gotta get ahead of you

[Chorus]
It’s a rat race
God, what a pace
It’s a rat race
It’s a disgrace
You gotta keep up with the crowd
If you can’t be quiet then I gotta be loud
(It's a rat race)
(It's a rat race)
(It's a rat race)
