Lyrics Rat Race - Billy Idol
Wake
me
from
my
sleep,
a
cautionary
tale
Walk
in
infancy,
a
way
to
derail
I
wanted
to
be
free
and
I
wanted
only
you
The
walls
are
falling
down
And
somebody
says,
"Ah
give
a
little
love
Give
a
little
love,
but
take
your
time"
Somebody
says,
"Yes,
give
a
little
love
Give
a
little
love,
but
take
your
time"
A
private
life,
well
come
on
now
I
said,
"Livin'
gets
to
be
just
like
a
rat
race,
rat
race"
So
come
on,
I'm-a-read
between
the
lines
Fierce
struggler,
a
natural
one
a
tough
job
Gets
to
be
just
like
a
rat
race,
rat
race
So
come
on,
I'm
a
locked
up
in
myself
Check
before
rising
Check
before
we
work
A
childproof
the
scene
No
screams
can
be
heard
The
roof
is
caving
in
And
the
space
between
our
hearts
The
walls
are
falling
down
And
somebody
says,
"Ah
give
a
little
love
Give
a
little
love,
but
take
your
time"
Somebody
says,
"Yes,
give
a
little
love
Give
a
little
love,
but
take
your
time"
A
private
life,
well
come
on
now
I
said,
"Livin'
it
gets
to
be
just
like
a
rat
race,
rat
race"
So
come
on
I'm-a-read
between
the
lines
Fierce
struggler
a
natural
one
a
tough
job
Gets
to
be
just
like
a
rat
race,
rat
race
Come
on,
I'm
a
locked
up
in
myself
It's
a
rat,
it's
a
rat,
it's
a
rat
race
It's
a
rat,
it's
a
rat
race
It's
a
rat,
it's
a
rat,
it's
a
rat
race
It's
a
rat
race
Ah,
life
living
in
a
rat
race
Now
come
on
Life
are
you
living
in
a
rat
race?
C'mon,
here
inside
yourself
Well
a
private
life,
well
come
on
now
I
said,
"Livin'
it
gets
to
be
just
like
a
rat
race,
rat
race"
So
come
on
I'm-a-read
between
the
lines
Fierce
struggler
a
natural
one
a
tough
job
It
gets
to
be
just
like
a
rat
race,
rat
race
So
come
on,
I'm
a
locked
up
in
myself
A
private
life,
come
on
now
I
said,
"Livin'
it
gets
to
be
just
like
a
rat
race,
rat
race"
So
come
on
I'm-a-read
between
the
lines
Fierce
struggler
a
natural
one
a
tough
job
It
gets
to
be
just
like
a
rat
race,
rat
race
So
come
on,
I'm
a
locked
up
in
myself
I'ma
locked
up
in
myself
I'ma
locked
up
in
myself
