RATS 


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 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

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
