You live this fuckin' rat race You think it gets you some place You're sold a bill of goods and taken in Perfections calling but you can't repay Your reflections appalling so harder you try You sit and puff that stogie That's your third cup of coffee But still you count those calories You can't win TV's the crime Training your mind No pain, no gain The pounds you retain Machine dream Machine dream believe Machine dream Machine dream believe The pressure that you're feeling More corporate wheeling, dealing Eat this, buy that, you fat rat Be perfect too! The image is perfections The difference is what's inside The shell is all that matters All the toys that you buy You're catching up with them But the Joneses always win Simple human race All value placed on face, Push, work, sweat, one more try Give it up!
