Songtext zu 'Rat Race' von A Broken Silence

Stress running through your brain and your running for the train
Hands fumbling for change, just another on the chase
Dinner on your plate but rent is coming late see your Mrs at the gate
Its written on her face
Giving up your wage and drinking with your mates
On a mission so your feet aint, hitting on no brakes
Some do it out of love, some do it out of hate
Some do it for themselves, some do it to create
And shape the world with the path you lead
I see a star as an image that is far from me
And every obstacle their benefits are hard to see
But later find they're the parts you need

Try to stand but stay braced for the fall
In that Rat Race where the pace never stalls
Sacrifice, patience, face to the wall
On that paper chase, that relates us all
Just trying to stand but stay braced for the fall
In that Rat Race where the pace never stalls
Sacrifice, patience, face to the wall
On that paper chase, that shapes us all

Car tank is on E (empty) you put your baby off to sleep
Who'll pay electricity, maybe next week
Trying to get up on your feet
Not hearing about defeat
Just trying to earn your keep
Without burning your beliefs
They making in the street
Its hard to turn the other cheek
But is serving your dreams
Worth a furnace that deep
Hurting with fatigue
Coercing you to flee
But every adversity makes that person you be
You shape the world with the path you lead
I see a star as an image that is far from me
And every obstacle their benefits are hard to see
But later find they're the parts you need

Try to stand but stay braced for the fall
In that Rat Race where the pace never stalls
Sacrifice, patience, face to the wall
On that paper chase, that relates us all
Just trying to stand but stay braced for the fall
In that Rat Race where the pace never stalls
Sacrifice, patience, face to the wall
On that paper chase, that shapes us all

Try to stand but stay braced for the fall
In that Rat Race where the pace never stalls
Sacrifice, patience, face to the wall
On that paper chase, that relates us all
Just trying to stand but stay braced for the fall
In that Rat Race where the pace never stalls
Sacrifice, patience, face to the wall
On that paper chase, that shapes us all

Trying to stand (stand), brace (brace), fall
That Rat Race (race), pace don't stall
Do what it takes, break through walls
That paper chase, shapes us all (yeah)
Trying to stand (stand), brace (brace), fall
That Rat Race (race), pace don't stall
Do what it takes, break through walls
That paper chase, shapes us all (yeah)

Try to stand but stay braced for the fall
In that Rat Race where the pace never stalls
Sacrifice, patience, face to the wall
On that paper chase, that relates us all
Just trying to stand but stay braced for the fall
In that Rat Race where the pace never stalls
Sacrifice, patience, face to the wall
On that paper chase, that shapes us all
