Lyrics Bionic Rats - Lee "Scratch" Perry

Bionic Rats

Hey scavengers, hey scavengers
Hey vampires out there
Hey scavengers, hey scavengers
Hey vampires out there
Rats invade the corn field (corn field)
Eating up the sufferers' meal
(Sufferers' meal)
Every day they gnaw the same song
(Same song, same song)
Every day they cut another version
(Version, version)
East west north, east west south
The world is roundabout
East west north, east west south
People keep squeaking out
(Squeaking, squeaking)
Every man have his own opinion
(Stoo stoobi doo-oo)
Everyone want to reign dominion
(Stoo stoobi doo-oo)
But Jah Jah set a super trap
(Super trap, super trap)
To catch all you bionic rats
(Stoo stoobi doo-oo)
They must get a beating
They must get a blow
They must get wounded
(Stoo stoobi doo-oo)
They must get a beating
They must get a blow
They must get wounded
(Stoo stoobi doo-oo)
Jah-wah-wah-wah
Jah-wah-wah-wah
Jah-wah-wah-wah
If you can’t beat the man
You cannot beat the world
For Jah Jah word is like
A two edged sword (edged sword)
Singers and players will be there
(Gathering, gathering)
Heathen and vampires, beware
(Stoo stoobi doo-oo)
Judas and Barnabas, sons of Lucifer
(Satan, Satan)
You shall go down in the Valley of Jehoshaphat
(Bottomless pit)
For Jah Jah set a super trap
(Super trap, super trap)
To catch all you bionic rats
(Stoo stoobi doo-oo)
Judas and Barnabas, Judas and Barnabas
Sons of Lucifer (Satan, Satan)
You shall go down in the Valley of Jehoshaphat
(Bottomless pit)
For Jah Jah set a super trap
(Super trap, super trap)
To catch all you bionic rats
Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah
