Rats

Rats Lyrics

A sense of enterprise is here.
The attitudes that conquer fear.
Stability togetherness
The feeling cannot be suppressed.
Hand in hand we had our say.
United we stand but so did they.
Hands in handcuffs dragged away.
To cheers of hate and victory!

We fought the city but no-one cared.
They passed it off as just a game.
The city won't stop till attitudes change.
Rats in the cellars of the stock exchange.

Co-ordination was not so good.
But everyone did just what they could.
Unarmed with inexperience.
We had to use our common sense.
"If you act like rats you get treated like this"
Said a policeman like we didn't exist.
When the force of law has lost it's head
The law of force is what you get.

We fought their calculations,
Money gained from third world nations.
All that money spent on war
Could be used to feed their poor.
The papers played the whole thing down
Said there was nothing to worry about.
The rats have all gone underground.
But we'll be back again next time round.
