By the concrete, by the palm trees What a pretty massacre on the street In a dark cloud, in a blackout Everybody is what they need to be What a nice day for a rat race Everybody chasing your long tail Have a nice day in the rat race Everybody knows how the game's played In a nice dream, in a cemetery What a pretty pic for it all might seem In the wrong crowd, in the wrong town You can play the person you don't wanna be What a nice day for a rat race Everybody chasing your long tail Have a nice day in the rat race Everybody knows how the game's played What a nice day for a rat race Everybody pulling the same face Have a nice day in the rat race Everybody knows how the game's played
