I didn’t like the rat race
|
I ran away from there
|
Thought I was the tortoise
|
Turns out I’m the hate
|
I ran a rabbit race, came in last place
|
Ran a bear chase too
|
All of my running got me worn right through
|
|
Got a monkey on my back and a heart attack waiting on the finish line
|
I ran from competition, can’t blame a guy for trying
|
|
I tried to break free but silly me
|
The track goes round and round
|
Then like a mole I found a hole, I sought the underground
|
I root the mountain down
|
But pound for pound it ended up on me
|
Like a prisoner bound what I’ve found is I’m digging to be free
|
|
Got a monkey on my back and a heart attack waiting on the finish line
|
I ran from competition, can’t blame a guy for trying
|
|
Can’t blame a guy for trying
|
I think I could be free
|
I think that I’d go flying
|
If you would say to me
|
That you would walk with me
|
|
I’m a rabbit in a log hiding from the dog’s thinking about my soul
|
And you came in and with a grin said we’re staying in the hole
|
I love you well and know you’re true how long will we stay?
|
‘Til we rabbits outnumber them, then we’ll have our day”
|
|
Got a monkey on my back and a heart attack waiting on the finish line
|
I ran from competition, can’t blame a guy for trying
|
I ran from competition, can’t blame a guy for trying
|
