I need help with lyrics....

Does anyone have or know the lyrics to
"Welcome To The Ratrace/In A Large Room With No Light?"

"Do you ever feel that life is like looking for penny in a large room with no light"

The next line I can't quite figure out.....


Every time I wake up there's another mother fucker talking crazy stuff in my face,
There the only kind people who open their mouth, just to swallow feet.....

Love it!

In A Large Room With No Light

Lana drew a picture in school 2day
One that made her mother cry
A picture of a woman with a drink in her hand
Standing by a child with no eyes
Washington reaction based upon revenge
Babies blown 2 kingdom come
Damn the logic
Cartoon characters look better when they're on the run
Danny dropped the dime on his girlfriend
He said he didn't wanna go 2 jail alone
The seed lives in the same mind
With the thought that says we all should be stoned
And people lookin' 4 angels in the sky
Whenever they're broken-hearted
Love is grown, seeds are sown
A fire don't burn unless it's started

Did U ever feel that life was like lookin' 4 a penny
In a large room with no light?
A sophisticated man reduced 2 company in no-win situations
That aren't right

Everytime U wake up there's a little motherfucker
Talkin' big stuff in your face (Are U happy?)
U only get the kind of people that open their mouth just 2 swap feet
Welcome 2 the rat race

Did U ever feel that life was like lookin' 4 a penny
In a large room with no light?
A sophisticated man reduced 2 company in no-win situations
That aren't right

Oh, if U could just pass your history class
Maybe life would be alright
Until then U'll be lookin' 4 a penny
In a large room with no light

Yeah!

Life {repeat 2 fade}

Doesn't '...reduced to compete in no-win situations .." make more sense?

Although the team is engaged in other transcription work currently (and the look and feel of the site is also presently being addressed), it does invite feedback on any of the transcriptions already undertaken.

Fundamentally the team transcribes what they believe is actually sung - although it will of course attempt to work out the sense that might have been intended by the line to help identify what word was sung.
