Lyrics

Great King Rat (Backing Track)

I don't care

Come on, come on the time is right
The man is evil and that is right
Ah, yes I told you
Oh, no no

And a dirty old man was he
(Aaah)

(Aaah)

People

(Aaah)

Time and time again
The old man said it all a long time ago
Come on, come on the time is right
This evil man will fight
I told you once before

(Aaah)
