When the rats run riot and the screen door slams,
When the trees grow quiet, nothing but cats and cans.
When the breeze says 'try it', but you can hardly see.
When your love has died, and you rat on me.
I see your eyes in the half-light,
I see the number on your wall.
Endless strange things I see at night,
You don't see anything at all.
Shine a light into your soul, city streets so freezing cold.
City shadows mark the route when they let the rats out.
Rats.
You call it love, all right.
That was the catch!
A cold suicide.
Let me place you in my past with other precious toys.
But if you're ever feeling low down in the fractured sunshine,
I'll help you feel the noise.
Shine down, you can go on home.
Shine down, go.
Rats.
You're working overtime!
You are the moon beyond your mind.
When the rats run riot and the screen door slams,
When the world goes quiet, you won't know where I am.
You could be my open road, you could be the reason why.
You could ease my heavy load, but I want to freeze you out now.
You can let it shine.
Keep that in mind.
When they let out a rat next time,
You could move a little closer,
Until you're leaning all up around my shoulder.

Got it hit down
spot knock inside a spider
said: "That's love yeh, yeh, yeah!"
said: "That's love yeh, yeh, yeah!"
said: "That's love - All know it
TV, teeth, feet, peace, feel it...
That's love, yeh, yeh, yeah!"
That's love, yeh, yeh, yeah!"
I like the fall that brings me to
I make a cord around sinew
Duck the weight and east is less
Deep craving of the metal west
hell tomorrow's rain and test
hell tomorrow's rain and test
Love an empty sun and guess
dimples dangerous and blessed
Heaving, arriving, tinkeling
mingling jet and statuettes
seething wet we meet in fleck
seething wet we meet in fleck
lines and winds and freeben half
each fair day I give you half
of each fair day I give you half
I look into your eyes anew,
laying in the sun for you...
Blam, splattered, tactile, engine
heaving, quacky, squeaky, dormy, roofy, wham
I'll have them mind blown
broken jardy, cardy, smoocho, poocho, paki, puffi
splosh eat moxy, very smelly,
cable, gable, splinter, shaddle
top the seam he's taken off
rats, rats lay down flat
we don't need you, we act like that
and if you think you're un-loved
then we know about that...
rats, rats, lay down flat!
yes, yes, yes, yes, lay down flat!

I live my life the way I fuckin want to
I won't take no shit, especially not from you
seems to me you're all the fuckin same
9 to 5 people you're dead set insane
[Chorus]
The banks get rich off the backs of good men
twenty years inside if you rob them
you try to tell me about truth and justice
there ain't no justice son, just fuckin us
[Chorus]
I've been in this society long enough to know
that if you're on the bottom, there ain't no place to go
you can take your dead end jobs and shove em up your arse
we're not going to take it 'cause we got the sus
[Chorus]
I've seen men grovel and I've seen em cry
realizing how pointless was their life
wage slave mentality permeates the state
and you wonder why the youth are so filled with hate
[Chorus]
Give us hope only to take it back
we're the kids who fell through the cracks
I'll be your enemy until you concede
and our wrath in full you shall receive
[Chorus]
I won't condone society, I won't even try,

one rat to another said:
i?m lucky to have met you
it?s not friend-wise, just to feed me well
(go to hell)
FEED ME WELL, MAKE ME HIGH
AND I WILL GO MY WAY
WITHOUT RESPECT, NOTHING REGRET
AND I WILL GO MY WAY
(without you)
in extreme need, the fat rat said:
lucky to have met you
you make me high, so i regret
(can?t leave you fat)
like...rats gathering
like rats gathering
like...rats gathering
like rats gathering

a sense of enterprise is here
the attitudes that conquer fear
stabilitytogtherness
the feeling cannot be supressed
hand in hand we had our say
united
westand but so did they
hands in handcuffs dragged away
to cheers of hate andvictory!
chorus: we fought the city but no-one cared
they passed it off asjust a game
the city won't stop til attitudes change
rats in the cellars ofthe stock exchange
co-ordination was not so good
but everyone did just whatthey could
unarmed with inexperience
we had to use our common sense
if youact like rats you get treated like this
said a policeman like we didn't exist
when the force of law has ost it's head
the law of force is what you get
chorus
we fought their calculations
money gained from thrid world nations
that money spent on war
could be used to feed their poor
the papers played
the whole thing down
said there was nithing to worry about
the rats have allgine underground

Rats in my head,
A plague. A disease,
scratching away discontent is bleeding.
Staring at the roof watching time pass by
as my sinking thoughts flood the middle night.
Bleeding eyes of a sleepless night,
watching sand sift slowly by.
Bleeding eyes of a sleepless night,
beaten by the midnight fight.
Time decays, and rots away.
When the lights go out the ghosts come out to play.
I've been thinking, drowning, sinking inside My mind.
Day Light's creeping up on me so I say goodbye to a
good nights sleep again.
Another night alone.
I've got rats in my head,
A plague. A disease,
scratching away discontent is bleeding.
Staring at the roof watching time pass by
as my sinking thoughts flood the middle night.
Time decays, and rots away.
Eyes wide, the silence feeds my mind.
The silence has broken. The ghosts have woken.
Theres no peace in sleep if all nightmares are dreams.
So much for the good night sleep that I've been bid

I been slidin' round the snake oil of my baby's second skin
Feelin' kind of nasty do I wanna to let him in my river
Nothin' lasts forever but he sure give it a try
Fly me to the moon and he don't even ask me why when it's over
He's a symphony
Seein' ain't believin', whisperin' and screamin'
Everytime he take me to the top
Boy I want your honey - I don't want your money
Boy I want your honey all over me
Pour me some more honey
Don't you think it's funny
All I want is honey
And what is wrong with that?
Baby play the guitar like he wanna break his neck
And when he play with me he leave me a physical wreck
I can't fight it - I'm delighted baby
Been tryin' to get some sleep
Cause my baby's coming home
Feeling kinda hungry Mr give a dog a bone
Cos he's mean - He's a mystery
I'm an alleycat

Give me a reason
For me to keep you alive
You know what you've done
Give me an answer
Why you're running on my backyard
Looking for a shag
You're in deep shit honey
Come on, look into my eyes and tell me who it was
Who sneaked round my lover
Trying hard
Enough's enough
I'll take you down
Rats on the table when the cat is gone
I can tell that you've been around
Rats on the table when the cat is gone
Give a reason, give me one sign
You have crossed the line now
You've been running on my backyard
Too many times
You're in deep shit honey
Come on, look into my eyes and tell me who it was
Who sneaked round my babe
Trying hard
Enough's enough
I'll take you down
Rats on the table when the cat is gone
I can tell that you've been around
Rats on the table when the cat is gone
I can smell a dirty little girl
Dirty little girl
Now tell me what are you doing in my way
Are you stupid enough to be standing still?
I can see that you've been around
The holes in my backyard
Is from a rat for sure
Give a reason
'Cos you're in deep shit honey
I'll take you down
Rats on the table when the cat is gone
I can tell that you've been around
Rats on the table when the cat is gone
I can smell a dirty little girl
I'll take you down

Searching for blood
Killing humans
Craving for flesh
Bloodlust for death
Gnawing on the mangled corpses
Stripping, tearing skins from the bones
Rabid hunger
Infest the earth
Covered with rats
Eated to death

I can't sleep tonight the devil's in the moon
So I walk the city streets
I take big steps to get nowhere
I look at the lights
There's nothing here for me
I can't see the stars in the sky
The buildings reach to high
I can't sleep tonight
I see rats
I can't stay alive
I see the pimps I see the whores
I see the thieves outside your door
I look down the alley where I left my life
I see rats in the sewer at night
She said if I leave I won't come back
She said if I leave I won't come back
I can't sleep tonight
I see rats
I can't stay alive
I can't stay alive from the devil's making room
I walk from the alley where I left my life
I see rats with blood in their eyes
I said if you leave don't come back
I said if you leave don't ever come back
I can't sleep tonight
I see rats

they don't eat, don't sleep
they don't feed, they don't seethe
bare their gums when they moan and squeak
lick the dirt off a larger one's feet
they don't push, don't crowd
congregate until they're much too loud
fuck to procreate till they are dead
drink the blood of their so called best friend
they don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
don't pack themselves together and run as one
don't shit where they're not supposed to
don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare
they don't scam, don't fight
don't oppress an equals given rights
starve the poor so they can be well fed
line their holes with the dead ones bread
they don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
don't pack themselves together and run as one
don't shit where they're not supposed to
don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare...
they don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
don't pack themselves together and run as one
don't shit where they're not supposed to
don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare...
rats...they don't compare
rats...they don't compare
ben, the two of us need look no more

Pretty shoes scratched up the floors
And woke me up with their alarm
And she feels a little bad
If she knew... sorta new
Oh no, no need now
Money's out
The way that I do
Almost headed out
Bring it back
The way that I knew
When I work
It fills up time
Not exactly
What I'd like
With the little lullabies
We'd settle down
But not now
I know
Oh no, no need now
Money's out
The way that I do
Almost headed out
Bring it back
The way that I knew
These are things
You don't belong but
These are things
Don't get them wrong
Oh no, no need now
Money's out
The way that I do
Almost headed out
Bring it back
The way that I knew
Oh no, no need now
Money's out
The way that I do
Almost headed out
Bring it back

Rats! Turncoats and dead end friends
Self-centres and traitors
That will just try to break you and leave you
Rats! Cold fakes black hearts
Shit talkers that have no end
Low-lifer and haters
On a cycle to nowhere who don't care
There's a special place in hell for people like you
There's a special place in hell for the shit you've done
Rats! I'm sick and tired of getting fucked with
Nobodies lacing examples
So never think it's just you
Because it's us too
Rats! Never quit never change
World over they're all the same
We're unified in our hatred
That is the reason I wrote this
There's a special place in hell for people like you
There's a special place in hell for the shit you've done
There's a special place in hell for people like you
There's a special place in hell for every filthy rat
I'm counting down the days
I'm counting down the days 'til every rat has burned
I'm counting down the days
I'm counting down 'til every rat has burned in hell
There's a special place in hell for motherfuckers like you

Got it hit down, spot knock inside a spider
Says, "That's love yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"
That's love yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Says that's love, all know it, TV, teeth, feet, peace, feel it
That's love yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
That's love yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Like the fall that brings me to
I like the fall that brings me to
I like the cord around sinew
I make a cord around sinew
Duck, the way to least is less
Tea craving of the metal west
'Ell tomorrow's rain and test
'Ell tomorrow's rain and test
Love an empty son and guess
Love an empty son and guess
Pimples dangerous and blessed
Heaving, arriving, tinkling
Mingling jets and statuettes
Seething wet we're meeting fleck
Seething wet we're meeting fleck
Lines and winds and crib and half
Each fair day I give you half
Of each fair day I give you half
Of each fair day I give you half
I look into your eyes and you
Flathe in the sun for you
Bam, spastic, tactile engine
Heaving, crackle, slinky, dormy, roofy, wham
I'll have them, fried bloke
Broken jardy, cardy, smoocho, moocho, paki, pufftle
Sploshette moxy, very smelly
Cable, gable, splintra, channel
Top the seam he's taken off
Rats, rats lay down flat
We don't need you, we act like that
And if you think you're un-loved
Then we know about that
Rats, rats, lay down flat

Rats over the dishes, rats over the dishes
Please tell me what the ratties say
Please tell me what the ratties say
Rats over the dishes
And God is certainly the genius
To expose the human weakness
Rats over the dishes, rats over the dishes
Please tell me what the ratties say
Please tell me what the ratties say
Rats over the dishes
And to think that this was once my home
But now some sick bastard's pleasure dome
They say to build a better man trap
The rats, they will beat a path to your door
And the doorway is a cutaway of flesh and bone
And the doorway is a cutaway of flesh and bone
Lay me down upon a bed of roses
Lay me down upon a bed of roses
Rats, rats, rats, beat a path to my door
[Incomprehensible] build a better man trap
And the rats will beat a path to your door
Build a better man trap
And the rats will beat a path to your door
Build a better man trap
And the rats will beat a path to your door
Build a better man trap

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

Another mouth in a starving world oh how very ordinary it's not a virtue not quite a blessing there's something that we're all forgetting
Human roaches, human rats. We're no different. Don't forget. Human vermin, human ants. We're no different. Don't forget it. Fleas on rats fleas on rats human roaches. Human rats. We're no different. Don't forget. Human vermin, human ants, we're no different. Don't forget. Mother nature's cruelest trick, gorge ourselves until we're sick human tapeworms, human ticks, we're no different, don't forget human roaches, human rats. We're no different. Don't forget.

When the rats run riot
And the screen door slams
When the trees grow quiet
Nothing but cats and cans
When the breeze says 'try it'
But you can't hardly see
When your love has died
And you rat on me
I see your eyes in the half light
I see the number on your wall
Endless strange things I see at night
You don't see anything at all
Shine a light into your soul
City streets so freezing cold
City shadows mark the route
When they let the rats out
RATS
You call it love alright
That was the catch
A cold suicide
Let me place you in my past
With other precious toys
But if yr ever feeling lowdown in the fractured sunshine
I'll help you feel the noise
Shine down
You can go on home
Shine down
RATS
Your working overtime
You are the moon
Beyond yr mind
When the rats run riot
And the screen door slams
When the world goes quiet
You won't know where I am
You could be my open road
You could be the reason why
You could ease my heavy load
But i'm gonna freeze you out now
You can let it shine
Keep that in mind
When they let 'm out this time
You could move a little closer
Until yr leaning all up around my shoulder
City shadows mark the route

Find a camera recluse
What is it that other people do
That doesn't leave a bruise?
Its lurking under my skin uninvited
Silver paper thin i'm breaking through
I remember someone say that there's always a rat close by
I remember someone say that there's always a rat close by
An i think its time that you made up your mind this time
Who's still on your side?
I'm sixteen over my head the concept of pied
The scene is dead but i'm here alone
If everyone in the room could hear themselves
Sing out of tune then they'd feel like i do
I remember someone say that there's always a rat close by
I remember someone say that there's always a rat close by
An i think its time that you made up your mind this time
Who's still on your side?
Find a camera recluse
What is it that other people do
That doesn't leave a bruise?
Its lurking under my skin uninvited
Silver paper thin i'm breaking through
I remember someone say that there's always a rat close by
I remember someone say that there's always a rat close by
An i think its time that you made up your mind this time

One above heaven under One for thirst, one for hunger I am the dark, you are the thunder I am the doubt, you are the wonder
Since time began You've been the long time man Mama ain't it grand That I get to be the fool again? I get to be the fool again
I close my eyes and I see you dancing Do you see me when you close yours too? And every kiss that I don't give Another life that I don't live And mama it's so much sweeter when I do, hey
Love is light ignited And everyone is invited
But if you don't ever try How can you give it one more try? If you don't ever, ever try How can you give it one more try? Give it one more try
I close my eyes and I see you dancing Do you see me when you close yours too? 'Cause every kiss that we don't give Another life that we don't live And mama it's so much sweeter when we do

Very many years ago, the Bolivians were starving so.
They had rats as big as ponies there. They asked the Pope
To declare them fish.
We thank the Pope for granting us this wish.
When Friday comes, we'll all call rats fish.
We catch them with a net, kill with the gun.
We'll call it all forgotten when we're done.
They didn't look like rats at all, but like some horrendous horse doll.
Still they had to eat this thing.
In gratitude, the Pope-they kissed his ring.
We thank the Pope for granting us this wish.
When Friday comes, we'll all call rats fish.
We catch them with a net, kill with the gun.
We'll call it all forgotten when we're done.
