Rat Race

Some a lawful, some a bastard, some a jacket:
Some a gorgon-a, some a hooligan-a, some a guine-gog-a
In this 'ere rat race, yeah!

When the cat's away,The mice will play.
Political voilence fill ya city!
Don't involve Rasta in your say say;
Rasta don't work for no C.I.A.

I'm sayin':When you think is peace and safety:
A sudden destruction.
Collective security for surety, ye-ah!

Don't forget your history;
Know your destiny:
In the abundance of water,
The fool is thirsty.

Rat race, rat race, rat race!

Oh, it's a disgrace
You got the horse race;
You got the dog race;
You got the human-race;
But this is a rat race.
