[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Rou Reynolds]
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

[Chorus: Chris Batten, Rou Reynolds, Both]
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

[Verse 2: Rou Reynold]
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
[Chorus: Chris Batten, Rou Reynolds, Both]
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

[Post-Chorus: Chris Batten]
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

[Bridge: Rou Reynolds]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Rou Reynolds]
You know what?
Let's get disqualified!
Let's get disqualified!
[Chorus: Chris Batten, Rou Reynolds, Both]
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
