By the concrete, by the palm trees
What a pretty massacre on the street
In a dark cloud, in a blackout
Everybody is what they need to be

What a nice day for a rat race
Everybody chasing your own tail
Have a nice day in the rat race
Everybody knows how the game's played

In a nice dream, in a cemetery
What a pretty pic for it all might seem
In the wrong crowd, in the wrong town
You can play the person you don't wanna be

What a nice day for a rat race
Everybody chasing your own tail
Have a nice day in the rat race
Everybody knows how the game's played

What a nice day for a rat race
Everybody pulling the same face
Have a nice day in the rat race
Everybody knows how the game's played
