Generate meaning
1
Someone's dad passed out in the street
2
The wind-up key woker bees
3
Buzz right on by
4
At night he still lies
5
There cause nobody cares
6
Insects with briefcases ignore him
7
Been lying here for days
8
Not my problem, man
9
Look man, this is new york
10
Now the rats are coming to feed
11
Every night they bring more and more of their friends
12
Immune to rat poison, totally unafraid
13
And this is a very special treat indeed
14
They crawl up my pantleg / I'm too weak to move
15
No one hears my cries as they start on my toes
16
Their teeth are like razors as they gnaw at my hands
17
It sure beats mcdonald's so get it while it lasts

See the headline in the Post?
23
No one helped that old man for a week
24
They're homeless cos they wanna be
25
Let's talk about sports
26
Watch 'em tear that old building down
27
On the way home
28
But when a bulldozer pops the rubble like a pimple
29
Volcanoes of rats swarm all over us like bees
30
As big as a cat, not afraid to chase people
31
Or nibble on the wipers and vinyl roofs of cars
32
People are panicking, the cops have all fled
33
A shotgun will only kill one at a time
34
And it won't be the last time we run for our lives
35
From those teeth sinking into our arms and legs

Mmm Mmm Good
41
City fathers see a bright future ahead
42
Where the poor no longer exist
43
Drive the neighborhood people away from their homes
44
Paint 'em over and quadruple the rent
45
Isolate the undesirables in places like Harlem
46
Our sowetos without walls
47
If they won't go away
48
Cops smash their heads
49
Like they did in Tompkins Square
50
Those stories give me the creeps
51
I hope I didn't miss that last train
52
Some smart-ass plastered life-size pictures of rats
53
On the walls of the subway station
54
Funny joke
55
It's so quiet down here
56
It's a little too quiet down here
57
Who's that across the tracks
58
Smoldering eyes are glaring up at me
59
Inching closer and closer, almost laughing out loud
60
The train finally comes, but it won't even stop
61
Not here, not tonight
62
I'm off in an hour, I don't wanna get involved
63
With some guy in a suit fighting rats off his face
64
Just leave 'em to the night, they'll be gone the next day
