RATS


I've looked out from the 7th floor
and I don't like what I see
Ten square miles of steel and concrete
wrapped all around me
And the lights are bright but the streets are mean
and the air ain't fit to breathe
There aint no time out from this grind....
I'm gonna leave.

And this ship is sinking. And all the rats are leaving
There's nothing i believe in. All my gods are dead or sold out

You can take my flat and my big TV
I won't need them when I'm gone
You can take my street and take my job
I've done them for too long
And though I love you darlin'
I'll love you all my days
My time is done, I can't do no more
will you come or stay?

They say a change is for the better
as good as a rest
And you can carve out your own piece
if you live life in the West
But there's no room for me out here
nowhere to make my stand
Cos now I gotta run from a man with a gun who says
"Son, get off my land!"
