Rat Race (At Home)

Lyrics

[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
