Do what you want and don't give a damn
There's a price to pay
And you keep on paying and paying and paying
And it never ends
You pay in the end, my friend

You drown yourself
In a barrel of beer
But when you pull out
The pressure pressure pressure
Yes it's dragging you down
And it just hangs around

It's a rat race baby
Faceless face
But if you're dying of hunger
You get in the race
It's a rat race baby
Faceless face
But if you're dying of hunger

Sing with the song of Uk Subs, Rat Race lyrics!

You get in the race

Walk the streets
For some place you know
Knock on the door
But you already know the answer
Before they tell you no

It's a rat race baby
Faceless face
But if you're dying of hunger
You get in the race
It's a rat race baby
Faceless face
But if you're dying of hunger
You get in the race

Rat race baby
Faceless face..... [repeat to end]

Artist Information

Profile:

The UK Subs were another group that emerged from the scene at The Roxy in London in 1977. Founder and Lead Vocalist Charlie Harper was playing in R&B and pub rock groups before being influenced by bands like The Damned to turn to punk. The band was based around Harper's growling Cockney vocals with Nicky Garratt on Guitar, Paul Slack on Bass and a variety of drummers. Although adopting punk stylings, the bands work was still heavily influenced by R&B, albeit played fast. Their sound was most similar to Sham 69 or The Angelic Upstarts, although without the skinhead following Whilst never having a big hit, several singles made the lower reaches of the Top 30 in the late 70s, including "Stranglehold", "Tomorrow's Girls", a cover of The Zombies classic "She's Not There" and "Warhead". The first two studio LPs "Another Kind of Blues" and "Brand New Age" also made the lower reaches of the album charts. The band split in 1983, but has since reformed and continues to gig intensively
