Chew

Someone's dad passed out in the street

The wind-up key woker bees

Buzz right on by

At night he still lies

There cause 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

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

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
