Fifty-Two Rats

Fifty-two rats in the rat race
They kick and they claw and they bite at the face
Fifty-two races in the rats
Because somewhere along the way they turned into stats

In the rat race they change
Fifty-two rats fueled by pains
Finding an advantage in hurting others
Because the winnings may not be enough to share with their brothers

Advantage of speed
Replaced by advantage of greed
As their fangs sink in deep
Weak sentenced to a permanent sleep

One rat in the rat race
Winner by ruthlessness, not pace
One race in the rat
At the end of it all, he's still just a rat

And a lonely one at that.
