Текст песни The Year of the Rat - Gabriel Moreno

Caligula pines for a piece of the pie, he stole beg and lied
And covered his eyes with a mask and a flag
You say he's a curse but the cyclops are worse
They sold our distress to a corporate mess in Taiwan for a dime

Remember your punch as it threatened the air
You didn't succeed but at least you did care for us
Here in the year of the rat.

Don't get me wrong I am not a peach, I drink more than I sing
And I traded my dreams in the night for a crown
I didn't whinge when they padlocked the gym
But when drinking joints fell I whined and I screamed for the juice in my town

Remember your throat as it funnelled the air
You didn't do much but at least you did sing for us
Here in the year of the rat

Stay here as long as it lasts, alone I will crash
Into a thousand million manic broken sullen weeping plastic cars

They tore down the bridge and made England concede
To terror and greed so that dragons in wigs could afford
Their flats in Japan
Last month they changed the rules of the game
Now I am stuck in a cage with fear and regret as my pals for a while

Remember your punch as it threatened the air
You didn't succeed but at least you did care for us
Here in the year of the rat
