Lab Rats

BLACKBOOK

Compositor: Albert Den Dekker / Matthias Kräutli

Work, eat, sleep, repeat
Work, eat, sleep, repeat
Work, eat, sleep, repeat
Work, eat, sleep

We are lab rats
We work ‘round the clock
Faster and faster
We run ‘till we drop

Lab rats
We don’t criticize
Follow the master
With fear in our eyes

We don’t have a name
We don’t have a face
We just get a number
And stick to our place

And then we work and eat and sleep - repeat
We work and eat and sleep - repeat
Consume and drink and screw
Just wasting our minds - until we die

Lab rats
Asleep in a cage
Take the rejection
And smother the rage

Lab rats
Surrender your will
Take the injection
Or swallow the pill

We don’t have a name
We don’t have a face
We just get a number
And run through the maze

And then we work and eat and sleep - repeat
We work and eat and sleep and start again
Consume and drink and screw
Just wasting our time - until we die
