Rat Race - Enter Shikari

My heart beats in my head and it’s thunderous

Those caught in the rat race plunder us

They know what’s best for us

They know what’s best for us

Gotta keep up, gotta get ahead

Gotta go and get a job and work 'til I’m dead

They know what’s best for us

They know what’s best for us

And I’m thinking that they must have missed the point

Hold on, we just hold on for an exit

And I’m thinking that they must have missed the point

Hold on, we just hold on for an exit

Out to deplete, out to defeat everyone

Out to deceit, out to deceive anyone

They know what’s best for us

They know what’s best for us

They’re automatically given the authority

Why?

I don’t know, it’s a vile monstrosity

They know what’s best for us

They know what’s best for us

And I’m thinking that they must have missed the point

Hold on, we just hold on for an exit

And I’m thinking that they must have missed the point

Hold on, we just hold on for an exit

You see, the purpose of the rat race defeats me

When we’re gone, what’s left behind?

But there seems to be no end and no reason

Yet we still carry on

You see, the purpose of the rat race defeats me

When we’re gone, what’s left behind?

But there seems to be no end

When you finally reach the front of the pack

There’s nothing there, just an endless barren track

It goes on and on

It goes on and on

You know what?

Let’s get disqualified!

Let’s get disqualified!

And I’m thinking that they must have missed the point

Hold on, we just hold on for an exit

And I’m thinking that they must have missed the point

Hold on, we just hold on for an exit
