When the rats run out of the building When the rats run out of the building When the rats run out of the building The building's gonna fall When the building falls, when the building When the building falls, when the building When the building falls, when the building The man paves over the rats And the rats all scream with the blood on their cheeks And they run around scared on the fresh concrete And the maze gets tall but the rent goes cheap And the man gets fat while the rats don't eat And the man builds up the building And the man builds up the building And the man builds up the building again Then the rats get mean and hungry When the rats get mean and hungry The man buys up the guns And he sells them to the rats Then the rats all kill each other Then the rats all kill each other When the rats all kill each other The man sits back and laughs Ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha And the rats all scream with the blood on their cheeks And they run around scared on the fresh concrete And the maze gets tall but the rent goes cheap And the man gets fat while the rats don't eat And the man builds up the building And the man builds up the building And the man builds up the building again And the strong rats get killed And the weak rats get killed And the rich rats get killed And the poor rats get killed And the cowards don't die Cause the man saves their lives And the man builds up the building And the man builds up the building And the man builds up the building again
