Lola versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One
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
