Saw a rat in the gutter
can I see what it sees in this town?
just for some opportune moments
all of us scroungin'around
Time squares got numbers soarin'
numbers say we're losin'time
man got a box of cheap watches
as one man falls... as one man falls
To the point of overload
can it sink in to phase the shame
of the dirty conquest days
oh it's too late to shift the blame
as one man falls... as one man falls
as one man falls we all lose
And there's change for the better
change for the worse
change for the bottle
and the bag, ladies purse
and it's deep in your pocket
and inside your shoe
don't give me nothing that I can't use
When I see these rats in the gutter
oh I see how they feed in this town
just for some opportune moments
all of us scrungin'around
just for some opportune moments
all of us scrungin'around
as one man falls...
