Rat Race Lyrics - Devil's Playground - Billy Idol

Wake me from my sleep, a cautionary tale 

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 says, "Yes give a little love 

Give a little love, but take your time" 

A private life, well come on now 

I said, "Livin' gets to be just like a rat race, rat race" 

So come on 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 

So come on, I'm a locked up in myself 

Check before rinsing 

Check before we work 

A childproof the scene 

No screams can be heard 

The roof is caving in 

And the Space between our hearts 

The walls are falling down 

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, now 

A private life, well come on now 

I said, "Livin' it gets to be just like a rat race, rat race" 

So come on 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 

So come on, I'm a locked up in myself 

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 

Ah life living in a rat race 

Now come on 

Life are you living in a rat race? 

C'mon, here inside yourself 

Well a private life, well come on now 

I said, "Livin' it gets to be just like a rat race, rat race" 

So come on I'm-a-read between the lines 

Fierce struggler a natural one a tough job 

It gets to be just like a rat race, rat race 

So come on, I'm a locked up in myself 

A private life, come on now 

I said, "Livin' it gets to be just like a rat race, rat race" 

So come on I'm-a-read between the lines 

Fierce struggler a natural one a tough job 

It gets to be just like a rat race, rat race 

So come on, I'm a locked up in myself 

I'm a locked up in myself 

I'm a locked up in myself
