[Instrumental Intro/Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]
Like the movers and the shakers
Ican feel the pressure burn
Like you, I'm caught up in the race
I'm addicted to the rush
Under stress, a prisoner
And I don't even know my name

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I feel like I've been wasting precious time
Life passes by when you're slaving to the grind
What really matters when I cross the finish line
Am I wasting my life?

[Verse 2]
When I'm reaching for the answers
I can never trust my lust
I'm only reaping what I sow
If I'm a lover of the money
I will never have enough
Can't take it with you when you go

[Pre-Chorus]
Right now I feel like I've been wasting precious time
Life passes by when you're slaving to the grind
What really matters when I cross the finish line
I know I'm wasting my life
[Chorus]
Caught up in a rat race
Playing in the devil's game
Living in the fast lane
And I'm burning the flame
Caught up in a rat race
Playing in the devil's game
Living in the fast lane
And I'm feeling the strain
On my life, my life, on my life!

[Bridge]
I can't take it any longer
I cannot take much more, oh, no!
I won't waste it any longer
My life is mine no more

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I'm caught up in a rat race
Playing in the devil's game
Living in the fast lane
And I'm burning the flame
Caught up in a rat race
Playing in the devil's game
Living in the fast lane
And I'm feeling the strain
Caught up in a rat race
Playing in the devil's game
Living in the fast lane
And I'm burning the flame
Caught up in a rat race
Playing in the devil's game
Living in the fast lane
And it's time for a change
In my life, my life, in my life!
[Outro]
Rat, rat, rat race!
Caught up in a rat race
