Rat Race

faster faster can't  slow down
on the highway, through a town
there's compulsion, there's a must
faster, faster, on you thrust

in and out of traffic weaving
to hell with drivers still believing
rules are for protecting lives
you're in a race no one survives

not stopping where there is a stop
ignoring rules unless a cop
is somewhere seen, then slowing down
but we all know you're a clown

thinking that you're in a race
every day like rats you face
a part of you which just ignores
civilization's end of wars

on the roads where we all drive
being careful to survive
egotistic maniacs
somehow something your mind lacks...
