about

They will eat you alive if they have to... unless they eat somebody else!

lyrics

Lyrics in free translation:
Rats
They look nice, and cool
They do serious business
They trade bonds and shares
They are proud of their wealth
They feel great and wonderful!
-------------------------------------------------------
Deep down, though, they are like rats
Τhey live in confusion, fraud and debauchery
Their small syndicate lives in a golden cage
They are thieves and church robbers
Fortune-hunters and common quacksalvers
They abolish the law and promote terror
They sell poisons and suck your blood dry
They are blood suckers!
-------------------------------------------------------
They circle T.V. shows
They talk to you about viruses and pandemics
They try to rule your health and your life
They frighten people with fairy tales
They are vile rats!
--------------------------------------------------------
They sink the world in debt
With unholy allies and yes-men politicians
They divide societies for profit
They are insignificant!

They relentlessly strike economy and society
They dominate health and education
They destroy the state and the democracy
They subdue church and religion
With fury and greediness!
-----------------------------------------------------------
“Stay away from church -so boring!"
“Stay away from other people, -not healthy!”
«Stay locked at home, die from hunger!”
“Stay alone, for your own good!”
“Stay alone –alone!”
----------------------------------------------------------
Focus! Pull yourself together!
Get rid of all the fascists right now!
Send away these goldbrickers! Quit whining!
Take back your dignity, your kid, your life!
Wake up! Remember!
You deserve to be free!
Free yourself from all the spongers
The outlaws and the moles
Those who hurt you with their lies
Those who violate your soul and gnaw your life
Wake up!!!
