Rat Race Lyrics

Cover art for Rat Race lyrics by Skindred

This song looks like it's about capitalism and government in general, and how life seems to be an unfair race against other people where you always lose.

"You're always watching what they got next door If you're belly is full and you still want more Helping the rich an you ah down press the poor"

obviously its not about Socialism or Communism, and the claims are too broad and off target to be about atheism. The reason I feel like its about government is because they seem to be talking about an object, not just an idea, that is going to get you, and life is too much of an idea to do all the things they're describing. Besides, life doesn't make you help the rich.
