A song about the work-a-day rat race we're all stuck in, like a rat in a maze.

lyrics

Restless rats
running in an endless maze
We think the cheese will bring release
But we're still in the cage

Tell me to collect
But none of it is mine
I can't connect, I can't connect
When busy is the new fine

Forget to live today to live tomorrow
A never ending cycle of samsara

Time runs swift
Through the hourglass's neck
Brace yourselves, here it comes
Going down like a shipwreck

Puppet strings tug and tease
We don't really mind
As long as we get paid
We promise not to look behind

Forget to live today to live tomorrow
A never ending cycle of samsara

slow down
slow down
smell the roses
slow down

No time, no time
We can't rehearse
We're just cattle standing
On the barren pastures of commerce

Swallowing the cud,
the mirrors and smoke
They tell us to chew some more
But we're just gonna choke

Forget to live today to live tomorrow
A never ending cycle of samsara

slow down
slow down
smell the roses
slow down
