The Drifters - Rat Race lyrics

You know it's cruel Out here in this rat race There's just one rule Out here in this rat race Out her in the jungle You've got to fight from nine to five In this steel and concrete jungle You've gotta fight to stay alive It's a rat race You know it's mean, yes, it is Out here in this rat race You can't stay clean, no Out here in this rat race If you don't wanna starve You know you gotta be like a hog There's no such thing as friendship Out here, it's dog eat dog It's a rat race Eat and sleep, sleep and eat Oh, Lord, what a rut Work and slave, slave and work Work and slave for what Sometimes I get the feeling That it isn't worth it, bud When I see my woman standing there With my kids, look at em Just standing round Then I say to myself You know it's worth it all And that's the reason why I ain't giving in, no, no, no, no Out here in this rat race I'm gonna win, yes, I will Oh, in this rat race
