Rat race
The OFFICIAL complaint
Possibly the most experimental song from our album Eleven Complaints. While the subject matter is obvious from the title, the musicality is 'different' even for us. Some have made the song intro their ringtone. Others believe the ending is unusual. Hope it's worth your time.
“Loved the verses [beats/lyrics/rhythm et al]... a super track to end the album with.”

Lyrics
Rat Race
By Kastadyne
VERSE
The food chain has once again broken
Big firms, big fish invading the poor man ,
As we’re talking there’s a trigger clicking,
A coffin’s open & a dopie’s dopin’
The TV is our world that fits in a box,
We only speak when we’re spoken to, opinions blocked
Population’s increasing, we need space,
Modulation-demodulation, stuck in the rat race.
CHORUS
Do u wanna live like this
Governed by artificial forces?
Do u love to live like this
Concerned about resources?
VERSE
Traffic is drastic, a collision of dirt,
We live in box structures to whom we gave birth.
At this very moment there are thousands at work,
Caught up in the rat race like all stupid jerks.
We look at an object with 3 screwed up hands,
Analogue or digital digits of command,
At whose hand we stand & at whose hand we age.
We’re busy & dizzy jammed in the rat race.
CHORUS
Do u wanna live like this
Governed by artificial forces?
Do u love to live like this
Concerned about resources?
BRIDGE
You’re born to be wild,
You’re born to be free,
The world is so blind,
The world cannot see.
OUTRO
Stuck in the rat race…..
