Rat Race

There'll be fireworks tonight

Everybody's on their knees

Admiration for the one

Riot in a dead-end street

Don't be afraid to hear his voice

Tells you lies you wanna hear

You just listen and obey

Got the ticket in your hand

A new religion for the mob

For everyone to understand

We're all just clockwork toys tonight

And salvation is drawing near

The snow covered opera tonight

Enchanted with dilated eyes

Living in a rat race

Dying in a rat race

Burning in the stream again

Why should I dare to break away

Living in a rat race

Living in a rat race

I got sulfur in my veins

Devil watching through my eyes

I got beauty I got brains

And there's no one to defy

I've got the power in my fingers

And the opera in my hands

The onset of winter tonight

The mirror it gives me a smile

Living in a rat race

Dying in the rat race

Burning in the stream again

Why should I dare to break away

Speeding in the rat race

Bleeding in the rat chase

Burning in the stream again

Why should I dare to break away

Living in the rat race

Dying in the race

Burning in the stream again

Why should I dare to break away

Speeding in the rat race

Bleeding in the rat chase

Burning in the stream again

Why should I dare to break away
