Paroles et traduction Jonathan Painchaud - Rat Race

Rat Race

Chaque fois qu'tu penses à ralentir
Y a quelqu'un qui t'a sur son radar
Pas l'droit d'souffler, pas l'droit de vieillir
La vie n'arrête pas pour les traînards
Personne ne regarde en arrière
Tout l'monde est dans la même galère

Gotta face it, that's the way the rat race goes
That's the way the rat race goes
Gotta face it, that's the way the rat race goes

Et si tu choisis d'en découdre
Que tu te bats pour garder ta place
T'es pas tout seul à jouer du coude
Tout l'monde a besoin de temps d'glace
Et si tu tombes et tu tends le bras
C'est un pour tous et chacun pour soi

Gotta face it, that's the way the rat race goes
That's the way the rat race goes
Gotta face it, that's the way the rat race goes

Si la vie est conçue comme ça
C'est pas un effet du hasard
Enseveli dans nos tracas
On ne prend jamais le temps de voir
À quel point l'écart est immonde
Entre nous et les grands de ce monde

Gotta face it, that's the way the rat race goes
That's the way the rat race goes
Gotta face it, that's the way the rat race goes
Gotta face it, that's the way the rat race goes
Gotta face it, that's the way the rat race goes

Rat Race

Every time you think about slowing down
Someone's got you in their sights
No time to breathe, no time to age
Life doesn't stop for the laggards
No one looks back
Everyone's in the same boat

Gotta face it, that's the way the rat race goes
That's the way the rat race goes
Gotta face it, that's the way the rat race goes

And if you choose to fight
To keep your place
You're not alone in the struggle
Everyone needs a break
And if you fall and reach out your hand
It's every man for himself

Gotta face it, that's the way the rat race goes
That's the way the rat race goes
Gotta face it, that's the way the rat race goes

If life is designed this way
It's not by chance
Buried in our worries
We never take the time to see
How vast the gap is
Between us and the elite

Gotta face it, that's the way the rat race goes
That's the way the rat race goes
Gotta face it, that's the way the rat race goes
Gotta face it, that's the way the rat race goes
Gotta face it, that's the way the rat race goes
