Rat Race Lyrics

Lying awake in bed/And you’re wondering/Where things went wrong/Waking up in the morning/And regretting what’s coming to you/What the hell just happened to me/Had my life planned out/Was gonna have a car and a house/But all i got is this job/Just a member of the /Rat Race/Living day to day/Hour to hour/Moment to moment/Wondering when my next break,/When my next break/Is coming to me/I’m just a member of the /Rat Race/Everyday/Just the same old fucking shit/Your job doesn’t pay/And your boss is the biggest prick/What the hell just happened to me/Had everything worked out/Was gonna have a wife and a kid/But all i have is hell/Just a member of the /Rat Race/Living day to day/Hour to hour/Moment to moment/Wondering when my next break,/When my next break is coming to me/I'm just a member of the/Rat Race

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
