The rat race, itās called
In college itās a plague
All the rats gnawing at each
otherās tails
Trying to reach for the top
They donāt sleep, they donāt
stop
Cause now itās cool to be
exhausted
To boast the battle scars on
our brains
āHere is where I pulled 3 all
nighters for an examā
āThis mark here is where I
failed and then criedā
āThere is where I went to
Starbuckās 10 times in one day and
I still couldnāt get that
homework doneā
Why are they proud of this?
Iāll never know
What drives the rats to mind
pumping drugs
But they donāt make you
smarter, they
Just make you dizzy and robotic
and dazed
The little pills make you feel
less lazy
So instead of going for a walk,
or to church, or reading a book
You can sit on your chair and
digest information for days
Swallow it whole, all the
books, the LSATs
Until youāre numbed by the
excess of dictations
Youāre more like Google and
less like a person
A siphon for information
Awake, above your covers, in a
pool of sweat
You have a caffeine-induced
nightmare
That you wonāt pass the test
That youāll fall behind all the
rest
Cause you must be the best
At any cost, to reach the top
The top of a race that never
stops
