Je

When
the
cat's

Quand
le

est
absent,
The
mice
will
play.
Les
souris
dansent.
Political

dans
tes
ragots
;
Rasta

I'm
sayin':
Course

je
dis
:
When
you
think
is
peace
and
safety:
Quand
tu
penses
à
la
paix
et
à
la
sécurité
:
A
sudden
destruction.
Une
destruction
soudaine.
Collective
security
for
surety,
ye-ah!
La
sécurité
collective
pour
la
sûreté,
ouais

Don't
forget
your
history;
N'oublie
pas
ton
histoire
;
Know
your
destiny:
Connais
ta
destinée
:
In
the
abundance
of
water,
Dans
l'abondance
de
l'eau,
The
fool
is
thirsty.
L'imbécile
a
soif.
Rat
race,
rat
race,
rat
race!
Course
aux
rats,
course
aux
rats,
course
aux
rats
!
Rat
race!
Course
aux
rats

Oh,
it's
a
disgrace
Oh,
c'est
une
honte
To
see
the
human-race
De
voir
la
race
humaine
In
a
rat
race,
rat
race!
Dans
une
course
aux
rats,
course
aux
rats
!
You
got
the
horse
race;
Tu
as
les
courses
de
chevaux
;
You
got
the
dog
race;
Tu
as
les
courses
de
chiens
;
You

But

a
rat
race,
rat
race!
Mais
