BAD RATS by John Stewart (Bullets In The Hour Glass, 1992, Shanachie 8005) Good rats all have wheels Good rats all have names Good rats all can feel Good rats are the same Good rats all have friends Good rats all can eat Good rats all get papers to protect their little feet. It's a song about the good rats Bad rats have no names Bad rats have disease Bad rats all must leave Bad Rats are the same Bad rats have no friends Bad rats die alone Let's all kill the bad rats And pass around the stone It's a song about the bad rats Look at all the good rats Look at all the bad rats There ain't no way you know of telling who's a bad rat. There ain't no way you know of telling who's a bad rat. There ain't no way you know of telling who's a bad rat. Look at all the bad rats. Look at all those Asian people I'm glad they aren't like me. Look at all those Ethiopian people I'm glad they aren't like me. Look at all those homeless people I'm glad they aren't like me. It's a song about the bad rats.
