(Sidney Carter)
The rat race is a cruel race and crooked are the
rules
You'll never be a millionaire unless you win the pools
Will somebody tell me
how?
My standards keep on going up just like the papers say
I smoke a better
cigarette, a penny more to pay
Will somebody tell me how?
You can't afford not to
afford, it's fatal to be poor
You can't afford to fall behind the man who lives next
door
Will somebody tell me how?
You can't afford to worry now, for worrying can
kill
And if you're over forty, then you'd better buy a pill
Will somebody tell me
how?
The rat race is a cruel race: Relax, the doctor said
But how the hell can you
relax, you've got to keep ahead
Will somebody tell me how?
And now the rent is going
up, I cannot pay the bill
Where shall I find a hundred quid, unless I rob the till
And so
I robbed the till
The more you have the more you want, it's time you understood
The
old judge said, that you have never had it quite so good
Will somebody tell me
how?
The chaplain came into my cell, he told me not to grieve
For blessed are the
poor, he said, I wish I could believe
Will somebody tell me how?
I climbed up on my
prison bed to look out through the bars
A bloody great advertisement had blotted out the
stars
