Rat Race

Nice day to cruise along
Sunshine and a high, but not for me
I’ve got places to be
Good time to take it slow
Wish I had some of that instead of somewhere to go
I gotta make my worth known
Clear skies and a soft breeze
Perfect day to take it easy
But I’ve got responsibilities
No rest, no break, no time
No way to get off the grind
Yeah I’m so busy
Running all the time
Running all the time
I’m Running all the time
Running all the time
I’m running all the time
Running all the time
I’m running all the time
I’m reaching for the highs
I’m running late again
Earn money just to spend it on the weekend
Part-time but a full load
My commitments are ten-fold
It is what it is, I submit to the rat race!
No rest, no break no time
No way to get piece of mind
Yeah I’m just trying to get by
How did we get back here
Didn’t even take one year
To get back on track in the rat race!
Running all the time
Running all the time
I’m running all the time
Running all the time
I’m running all the time
Running all the time
I’m running all the time
I’m reaching for the highs
I’m running all the time
Running all the time
I’m running all the time
Running all the time
I’m running all the time
Running all the time
I’m reaching for the highs
I’m running all the time, I gotta
Stop, break, rest, breath
No stop, no break, no rest, no breath
We go, go, go, go
No stop, no break, no rest, no breath, no end

Weekend
02:53

Work all of the weekdays, work all of the time
You’re earning a good wage, but you’re wasting it away in your prime
Spend your days in the office under those bright fluorescent lights
You’re bound to your desk
You’ve got a headache but you gotta meet deadlines
Working nine to five
Monday to Friday, only living for the weekend
Drive home under the streetlights, look down at the road
Count down the hours, the minutes ‘til Friday night so you can let go
Step out into the spotlight, now you’re taking the wheel
Only takes a few pints you can come alive
Remember how to think and feel
Working all week long
Friday night to Sunday, oh you’re living for the weekend
Climb that ladder, get to the top of it
Earn money, spend it on a mortgage
Only seven years until a holiday
Do your overtime then you could get away
Work hard, you’ve got your weekends to play
Party and live it up with your mates
Oh, one day you might retire ‘til then
Living for the weekend
Work all of the weekdays
Work all of the time
What are you doing with your life, you’re only living for the weekend
You’re not living everyday, you’re only living on the weekend
Spending all your time and money, you’re just working for the weekend
What are you doing with your life, you’re only living for the weekend

Control

I’m gonna stay in tonight
Everything is moving I need to take a little time
I’m searching for some sweet relief
I need a breather, maybe I should take a back seat
Everything is easy, trying to believe
That if I let go, of the control
Maybe I would feel it
I am trying to keep it quiet
Got nothing to shout about, I’m listening, trying
To find ways to keep it all together
Don’t always want to engage, step away from all the pressure
Everything is easy
Trying to believe if I stop pushing, no plans
Get it out of my hands
It could be so easy, let it come to me
If I let go of the control
Maybe I would feel something
I am uninspired, easily tired, I need time alone
I wanna disconnect, yeah keep my distance
Trying to tell myself that it’s ok
Everything is easy, I’m trying to believe
That if I let go of the control, maybe I will feel it
What if it was easy, let it come to me
If I’m not pushing, no plans, leave it out of my hands
Everything is easy, let go and release
Surrender all of my control, but I keep hanging on and on and on
Everything is easy, I’m trying to believe
That if I let go of the control, maybe I will feel it
If I let go of the control
I gotta let go of the control
Let go of the control

Emilee South Melbourne, Australia
Combining the raw edge of punk with the driving force of rock, South shouts unapologetically over chaotic guitar riffs and charging rhythms to themes of capitalism, feminism, privilege, and the power of community. With influences ranging from Grinderman and IDLES to Sharon Van Etten, the band go from from urgent hooks to unyielding power. ... more
