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       Somebody sighs    Yes, 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 struggle    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 rising    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, give a little love,    Give a little love    But take your time       CHORUS          It's a rat, it's a rat, it's a rat race    It's a rat, it's a rat race    It's a rat, it's a rat, it's 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 locked up in myself    I'm locked up in myself
