Rat Race Songtext

von Bob Marley

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Rat Race" von Bob Marley handelt von dem ständigen Wettbewerb und der Ungerechtigkeit in der Gesellschaft....

Ah! Ya too rude
Oh what a rat race
Oh what a rat race
This is the rat race

Some a lawful, some a bastard
Some a jacket
Oh what a rat race, rat race

Some a gorgan, some a hooligan
Some a guine-gog
In this rat race. Yeah!
Rat race
I'm singing
When the cat's away
The mice will play
Political violence fill ya city
Yea-ah!
Don't involve Rasta in your say say
Rasta don't work for no C.I.A
Rat race, rat race, rat race

When you think it's peace and safety
A sudden destruction
Collective security for surety
Yeah!
Don't forget your history
Know your destiny
In the abundance of water
The fool is thirsty
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
