RAT RACE Lyrics

[Bob Marley (attributed to Rita Marley)] [= RASTAMAN VIBRATION (Track 10)]

            Uh!  Ya too rude!
            Uh!  Eh!  What a rat race!
            Oh, what a rat race!
            Oh, what a rat race!
            Oh, what a rat race!
            This is the rat race!  Rat race!  (Rat race!)

            Some a lawful, some a bastard, some a jacket:
            Oh, what a rat race, yeah!  Rat race!

            Some a gorgon-a, some a hooligan-a, some a guine-gog-a
            In this 'ere rat race, yeah!
            Rat race!
            I'm singin' that
            When the cat's away,
            The mice will play.
            Political voilence fill ya city, ye-ah!
            Don't involve Rasta in your say say;
            Rasta don't work for no C.I.A.
            Rat race, rat race, rat race!  Rat race, 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!

            Rat race!
            Oh, it's a disgrace
            To see the human-race
            In a rat race, rat race!
            You got the horse race;
            You got the dog race;
            You got the human-race;
            But this is a rat race, rat race!    /fadeout/
