The Race

I see my friends and my family, racing around their cage. 
I hear the voice of the masses, tell me to act my age 
But a corporate sell out I will never be, 
The life of a wanderer is the only one for me. 

Run, run, run, run 
My furry little friends 
Rush, rush, rush, rush 
Onward to your ends 

Now if I had money that had no end 
I have me a party yeah, round every bend 
You can keep your riches, and that money you’ve saved 
This is only room for one thing, lying in my grave 

Run, run, run, run 
My furry little friends 
Rush, rush, rush, rush 
Onward to your ends 

I’ll spend my life drifting from place to place 
My life is the journey, it sure as hell ain’t a race 
A head full of smiles, filled with happy thoughts 
Is worth more than possessions and all that you have brought
