Rat Race

You're working at your leisure to learn the things you'll need 
The promises you make tomorrow will carry no guarantee 
I've seen your qualifications, you've got a Ph.D. 
I've got one art O level, it did nothing for me 

Working for the rat race 
You know you're wasting your time 
Working for the rat race 
You're no friend of mine 

You plan your conversation to impress the college bar 
Just talking about your Mother and Daddy's Jaguar 
Wear your political T-shirt and sacred college scarf 
Discussing the worlds situation but just for a laugh 

You'll be working for the rat race 
You know you're wasting your time 
Working for the rat race 
You're no friend of mine 

Working for the rat race 
You know you're wasting your time 
Working for the rat race 
You're no friend of mine 

Just working at your leisure to learn the things you don't need 
The promises you make tomorrow will carry no guarantee 
I've seen your qualifications, you've got a Ph.D. 
I've got one art O level, it did nothing for me 

Working for the rat race 
You know you're wasting your time 
You're working for the rat race 
You're no friend of mine
