"The Specials Rat Race"的英文歌詞如下：
(Chorus)
Get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up
The rat race is a bore
Get up, get up, get up, get up
(Verse 1)
It's a battle for the bread
Trying to make a way
You're always chasing after
Trying to catch the day
Trying to catch the day
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
You're always looking for the next
Trying to make a score
But you're always chasing after
Trying to catch the score
Trying to catch the score
(Bridge)
But you know what?
It's time to stop and think
It's time to break the mold
And take your own path
Take your own path
(Chorus)
(Outro)
Get up, get up, get up, get up
The rat race is a bore
Get up, get up, get up, get up (x2)
Stop chasing after dreams (x2)
