[Verse 1] Alarm clock barks, got a dog in my head Fed it my dreams, now it sleeps in my bed Suit's razor-sharp, but the seams got teeth Shaking hands with the shark beneath [Verse 2] Same train, same brain, same stain on the glass My soul's on layaway with a laminated pass Boss got a barcode tattooed on his chin Sells us freedom with the lock built in [Pre-Chorus 1] Red light, green light, same cheap spell Bought me a heaven, got express-shipped hell The exit sign winks with a bloodshot eye Looks like a door if you squint at the lie [Chorus 1] Tick-tock, kick the clock off the track Rat race? Nah, let the rat bite back Slip that script, let the stiff suits slide Got a riot in a tie I can barely hide Boom inna boardroom, here I come Boss counts heads, but I ain't his sum Cut that cord, let the loose links sing Routine wants a ring, I call it a fling [Verse 3] Coffee made parole from a paper-cup cell Left a note: "Don't be bitter, give 'em hell" Bought me a dawn from the vending machine Got a second-hand moon marked "factory clean" [Verse 4] Satnav says, "Turn left at your grave" Told it "Fuck off », now it wants to rave My halo's on hire, my horns on a lease Set fire to the leash, call that inner peace [Pre-Chorus 2] Red light, green light, same cheap spell Bought me a heaven, got express-shipped hell The exit sign winks with a bloodshot eye Looks like a door if you squint at the lie [Chorus 2] Tick-tock, kick the clock off the track Rat race? Nah, let the rat bite back Slip that script, let the stiff suits slide Got a riot in a tie I can barely hide Boom inna boardroom, here I come Boss counts heads, but I ain't his sum Cut that cord, let the loose links sing Routine wants a ring, I call it a fling [Bridge] Met my old self on the last train He billed me for every drop of my brain I ate the fine print with a plastic spoon Now my gut keeps time with a crooked moon I pawned my gold star for a stolen spark Lit up their fake fire exit in the dark Rat got promoted, same penthouse cell I left through the wall they were trying to sell [INSTRUMENTAL SOLO] [Pre-Chorus 3] Red light, green light, same cheap spell Bought me a heaven, got express-shipped hell The exit sign winks with a bloodshot eye Looks like a door if you squint at the lie [Chorus 3] Tick-tock, kick the clock off the track Rat race?
