Run away from all your boredom, run away from all your whoredom  
All it takes is one decision, a lot of guts a little vision  
Sick and tired of Maggie's farm, she's a bitch with broken arms  
       G               F                           C 
And wave your worries and cares goodbye 
        G            F        C            G            F        D# 
It's a maze for rats to try, it's a maze for rats to try 
C                              G        F                     C 
It's a race, a race for rats, a race for rats to die 
Run away
