Name: Rat Race
Duration: P00H01M44S
Description: Number 2 of 4 written and recorded today in a 2 hour slot. I heard the chorus line on TV some time in the last week or so and made a note of it. This is the result. Made me think of someone who I used to work with who only cared about himself and could never consider the fairer version for the wider good.

lyrics

E B A B
(G#)When I was younger I was taught to knuckle down
E B A
Keep your nose clean do whats right
E
Climb the ladder doesn't matter who gets hurt
Just as long as you’re alright

If the choice is you or us then I choose me
Cos I don’t need to think of you
Stepping over four leaf clover for the top
My winning streak is showing through

E B
(G#)If you win the rat race
E B
If you win the rat race
E B
If you win the rat race
you’re still a
E
Rat

C#m G#
(c#)Check where your ladders leaning
A B E
What is at the top
C#m G#
Give your life new meaning
A B
Before it has to stop
