We are the rats and we run this town We are the black plague bearing down We have no fear We have no pity We hate you We hate this city Every mistake you have ever made The bodies you thought would never need graves They pave the gutters of London town Until the streets become a feeding ground London is the reason! London is the reason! London is the reason! We are the rats and we run this town We are the black plague bearing down We have no fear We have no pity We hate you We hate this city The River Thames is running dry The bodies have been piled high All the corpses washed up on the shores We'll drag them out because they are yours London is the reason! London is the reason! London is the reason! We are the rats and we run this town We are the black plague bearing down We have no fear We have no pity We hate you We hate this city London is the reason (when it burns down we'll be tried for treason) London is the reason (when it burns down we'll be tried for treason) London is the reason (when it burns down we'll be tried for treason) London is the reason (when it burns down we'll be tried for treason) YEAH
