Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're working at your leisure to learn the things you'll need
The promises you make tomorrow will carry no guarantee
I've seen your qualifications, you've got a PHD
I've got one art O level, it did nothing for me
[Verse 2]
Working for the rat race
You know you're wastin' your time
Working for the rat race
You're no friend of mine
[Verse 3]
You plan your conversation to impress the college bar
Just talkin' about your mother and daddy's Jaguar
Wear your political T-shirt and scared college scarf
Discussin' the world's situation but, just for a laugh
[Verse 4]
You'll be working for the rat race
You know you're wastin' your time
Working for the rat race
You're no friend of mine
[Verse 5]
Working for the rat race
You know you're wastin' your time
Working for the rat race
You're no friend of mine
[Verse 6]
Just working at your leisure to learn the things you don't need
The promises you make tomorrow will carry no guarantee
I've seen your qualifications, you've got a PHD
I've got one art O level, it did nothing for me
[Verse 7]
Working for the rat race
You know you're wastin' your time
You're working for the rat race
You're no friend of mine
