Someone's dad passed out in the street    The wind-up key woker bees    Buzz right on by    At night he still lies    There 'cos nobody cares       Insects with briefcases ignore him    Been lying here for days    Not my problem, man    Look man, this is new york       Now the rats are coming to feed    Every night they bring more and more of their friends    Immune to rat poison, totally unafraid    And this is a very special treat indeed       They crawl up my pantleg / I'm too weak to move    No one hears my cries as they start on my toes    Their teeth are like razors as they gnaw at my hands    It sure beats mcdonald's so get it while it lasts       Chew Devour    Chew Devour    Chew Devour    Chew Devour       See the headline in the Post?    No one helped that old man for a week    They're homeless cos they wanna be    Let's talk about sports    Watch 'em tear that old building down    On the way home       But when a bulldozer pops the rubble like a pimple    Volcanoes of rats swarm all over us like bees    As big as a cat, not afraid to chase people    Or nibble on the wipers and vinyl roofs of cars       People are panicking, the cops have all fled    A shotgun will only kill one at a time    And it won't be the last time we run for our lives    From those teeth sinking into our arms and legs       Chew Devour    Chew Devour    Chew Devour    Chew Devour    Mmm Mmm Good       City fathers see a bright future ahead    Where the poor no longer exist    Drive the neighborhood people away from their homes    Paint 'em over and quadruple the rent       Isolate the undesirables in places like Harlem    Our sowetos without walls    If they won't go away    Cops smash their heads    Like they did in Tompkins Square       Those stories give me the creeps    I hope I didn't miss that last train    Some smart-ass plastered life-size pictures of rats    On the walls of the subway station    Funny joke       It's so quiet down here    It's a little too quiet down here       Who's that across the tracks    Smoldering eyes are glaring up at me    Inching closer and closer, almost laughing out loud    The train finally comes, but it won't even stop       Not here, not tonight    I'm off in an hour, I don't wanna get involved    With some guy in a suit fighting rats off his face    Just leave 'em to the night, they'll be gone the next day       Chew Devour    Chew Devour    Chew Devour    Chew Devour
