Feeling a bit down and out, tired of yet another day at the office? Fight those feelings, crank the volume and sing along! Help to release some tension!
An old school “retro rock” song with a simple guitar riff leading into a classic chorus section backed by a bright and clear guitar underlay to the vocals. Ends with a short outro guitar solo of sorts. All vocals and instruments recorded/written by stevski7.
What others are saying
A great, addictive, exciting and equally fascinating retreat from Stevski7 that verbally and musically impresses throughout this beautiful contemporary and vast environment. Furthermore, Stevski7 makes excellent use of simple, structured and stylistic sophistication to strike with the classical weight of the mainstream while retaining the inherently alternative sound and personality throughout his career. Brilliant, the perfect themed portrait, an addictive new release with stunning visuals and rock energy. ~ Artizt Line
Conceptually as relevant as ever yet musically nostalgic in every way, Stevski7 strikes a fine balance with Rat Race. Effectively bridging the gap between eras or generations, the song unites us amidst our shared need for and simultaneous aversion to the Rat Race of modern life. ~ StereoStickMan
Rat Race Lyrics, by Stevski7
Stuck in a rat race
And dying for things you don’t even need
Pop another pill to drain the pain
It’s just another regression
Sink in a bottle of tomorrow
There’s nothing here to feel my friend
I don’t want to know
What it really means
To be free from this
Temporary fix
Hey now, I’m anti-social media
Hey now, just walk away from everything
Hey you, you’re working to live and die
Watching life through an iPhone
It’s such a way to live my friend
Driven by junk values
A hollow sense of worth that you’ve become
I don’t want to know
What it really means
To be free from this
Temporary fix
Hey now, I’m anti-social media
Hey now, just walk away from everything
Hey you, you’re working to live and die
Welcome to the new machine
Designed to make you forget what’s right
I’ll tell you what you really need
There’s nothing really that’s meaningful
