Welcome 2 The Rat Race
Welcome 2 the Rat Race [Controversy Music]
----------------------
Lana drew a picture in school today
One that made her mother cry
A picture of a woman with a drink in her hand
Standing by a child with no eyes
Washington reaction based upon revenge
Babies blown to kingdom come
Damn their logic, cartoon characters
Look better when they're on the run
Dan dropped a dime on his girlfriend
He said he didn't wanna go to jail alone
The seed lives in the same mind
With the thought that says we all should be stoned
And people lookin' for aliens in the sky
Whenever they're broken-hearted
Love is grown. Seeds are sewn.
Fire don't burn unless it's started

La la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Did you ever feel that life was like lookin' for a penny
In a large room with no light?
(la la la la la la la la)
(la la la la la la la)
A sophisticated man refuse to accompany
No-win situations that aren't right (la la la la la la la la)
Sha la la la la la la la (la la la la la la la)
Sha la la la la la la la

Sha la la la la la la la

Everytime you wake up there's some motherfucker
Talkin' big stuff in your face
You only get the kind of people that open their mouth
just to swap feet

Welcome 2 the rat race.
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh,oh.
Did you ever feel that life was like lookin' for a penny
In a large room with no light?
(la la la la la la la la)
(la la la la la la la)
A sophisticated man refuse to accompany
No-win situations that aren't right (la la la la la la la la)
(la la la la la la la)

Oh. If you could just pass your history class
Maybe life would be alright (la la la la la la la la)
Until then you'll be lookin' for a penny (la la la la la la la)
in a large room with no light

Yeah
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Life, life
Life, life
Life, life
Life, life
