Billy Idol - Rat race (Lyrics)

Wake me from my sleep
A cautionary tale
A 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 sighs
Yes, give a little love,
Give a little love
But take your time
Chorus
A private life
C'mon now
I said livin'
It gets to be
Just like a rat race
Rat race
C'mon
I'm a --read between the lines
Fierce struggle
A natural one
A tough job
Gets to be
Just like a rat race
Rat race
C'mon I'm a locked up in myself
Check before rising
Check before we work
I 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
Take your time
Somebody sighs
Yes, give a little love,
Give a little love
But take your time
Chorus
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
Aah life
Living in a rat race
C'mon
Hmm, life
Are you living in a rat race?
C'mon
Here inside yourself
Repeat Chorus twice
I'm locked up in myself
I'm locked up in myself
