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
