I was lost just wandering round downtown
|
Many people pushing me around
|
Hate spreads just like infection
|
Those rats jumping on and off my back
|
Fat black rats holding me down
|
I see rats in every direction
|
No time to catch your breath
|
Crazy people lost their heads
|
Masses trampling on my feet, inconsiderate in their heat
|
Those rats breeding angriness and spite
|
Never have done anything right for people like you and me
|
Walk over all the people you can't see
|
If they die there's more bread for me
|
Like snakes crawling through the grass
|
No time to catch your breath
|
Crazy people lost their heads
|
Masses trampling on my feet, inconsiderate in their heat
|
Those rats breeding angriness and spite
|
Never have done anything right for people like you and me
|
See that face man look at me, he's much too selfish to see
|
Once he was warm and was kind
|
Now all he has got is a pinstripe mind
|
See that face man look at me, he's much too selfish to see
|
Once he was warm and was kind
|
Now all he has got is a pinstripe mind
