Even If You Win, You’re Still a Rat Lyrics

[Verse 1: Sam Carter]
Your life is ending one minute at a time
Check the clock and stand in line
Hibernate till your, till your life's passed you by
Please stop living like you're waiting to die

[Chorus: Sam Carter]
Keep up, keep up, don't get left behind
Don't slip up, slip up, chase that finish line
They don't want you believing
That your life deserves a meaning

[Post-Chorus: Sam Carter]
Weary souls, trying to forget
That they're all puppets with a lifetime debt

[Verse 2: Sam Carter]
What a feeling, built to break
Happiness with an expiry date
Please stop living like you're waiting to die
Please stop living like you're waiting to die

[Bridge: Oli Sykes]
Stitched into our lives, drained until we expire
Weary souls trying to forget
That we're all puppets with a lifetime debt
We're all weary souls trying to forget
[Interlude: Sam Carter]
Keep two eyes on that intangible finish line
In this race, we're all reduced to vermin
Keep two eyes on that intangible finish line
In this race, we're all reduced, we're all reduced to vermin

[Outro: Sam Carter]
Stitched into our lives, drained until we expire
Your life is ending one minute at a time
Weary souls, trying to forget
That we're all puppets with a lifetime debt

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
