Rat Race
Billy Idol
Devil's Playground (2005)

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

Chorus
A private life
C'mon now
I said livin'
Gets to be
Just like a rat race
Rat race
C'mon
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
C'mon
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

Chorus
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
C'mon

Hmm, life,
are you living in a rat race?
C'mon
Here inside yourself

Repeat Chorus twice

I'm a locked up in myself
I'm a locked up in myself
