The Kinks

The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964.

I was lost just wandering round downtown 
Many people pushing me around 
Hate spreads just like infection 
Those rats jumping on and off my back 
Fat black rats holding me down 
I see rats in every direction 
No time to catch your breath 
Crazy people lost their heads 
Masses trampling on my feet, inconsiderate in their heat 
Those rats breeding angriness and spite 
Never have done anything right for people like you and me 
Walk over all the people you can't see 
If they die there's more bread for me 
Like snakes crawling through the grass 
No time to catch your breath 
Crazy people lost their heads 
Masses trampling on my feet, inconsiderate in their heat 
Those rats breeding angriness and spite 
Never have done anything right for people like you and me 
See that face man look at me, he's much too selfish to see 
Once he was warm and was kind 
Now all he has got is a pinstripe mind 
See that face man look at me, he's much too selfish to see 
Once he was warm and was kind 
Now all he has got is a pinstripe mind
