Intro: (the piano plays the notes , , )

You~re working at your leisure to learn the things you~ll need
The promises you make tomorrow carry no guarantee
I~ve seen your qualifications, you got a Ph.D.
I~ve got one art O-level, it did nothing for me
Working for the rat race
You know you~re wasting your time
Working for the rat race
You~re no friend of mine
You plan your conversation to impress the college bar
Just talking about your mother and daddy~s Jaguar
Wear your political T-shirt and sacred college scarf
Discussing the world situation, but just for a laugh
You~ll be working for the rat race
You know you~re wasting your time
Working for the rat race
You~re no friend of mine
Break: C#m G#m A B (only repeated so many times)
Working for the rat race
You know you~re wasting your time
Working for the rat race
You~re no friend of mine
Just working at your leisure to learn the things you don~t need
The promises you make tomorrow carry no guarantee
I~ve seen your qualifications, you got a Ph.D.
I~ve got one art O-level, it did nothing for me
Working for the rat race
You know you~re wasting your time
You~re working for the rat race
You~re no friend of mine
