Cats In The Wild

HOOK

Get used to walking on those filthy paving stones.

Sweat running down him rubs the fever in his bones. 

Tales of fast money he hears from older men.

Who make lots of promises but never promise when. 

 

Not at school now, real world and not a child 

And cats rip anything apart in the wild

There’s nothing to fear yet, now they’re calm and mild,

But cats rip anything apart in the wild. 

 

VERSE 1

He is your sunshine, your pride and joy 

Your little darling, such a special boy

If he ran the world, with his great, clean mind.

You know for sure there’d not be any more crime.

Time to turn him out now, push him onto the street

But cats corner anything just so they can eat

The state gets relaxed thinking everyone is so tame

Cats only sharpen their claws counting the people all to blame.

Who make lots of promises but never promise when. 

 

Not at school now, real world and married not a child 

And cats rip anything apart in the wild

There’s nothing to fear yet, now they’re calm and mild,

But cats rip anything apart in the wild. 

 

VERSE 2

They’re full of easy talk and smiles, and keen to shake your hand. 

But scared of new words and what they do not understand. 

Then they will take advantage, to them you are just a child 

And you learn that cats can rip anything apart in the wild. 

So you get no help, you live out on the street. 

Go hungry and no-one cares if you have not that much to eat. 

All fraudsters in charge, so you now can understand.

Why talking, meeting and protests have all been banned

VERSE 3

But you grow up quick and learn to fend for yourself.

No-one to care for you, you don’t need anyone else’s help.

Until comes the day someone comes to you asking for help

But your elders already taught you how to deal with the little whelp. 

So you smile sweetly while you shake his hand and put his hand around him.

Gain his trust, take his idea and tell him nothing bad is happening. 

Roll out his idea in your company and laugh at the dear child.

Smile and tell him cats tear anything apart in the wild.
