The Ramoneswere an American punkband formed in 1974, whose straightforward, stripped–down sound became an archetype for the genre. They slogged & toured through an unwelcoming rock music industry for some 25 years, playing 2263 gigs before hanging up their trademark leather jackets. Their sound was honed at the infamous CBGB's venue in New York's Bowery, where the band debuted short, sharp songs delivered with hi volume intensity, eschewing guitar solos for simple, direct power chords. The band released 16 albums of mainly-original material until their split in 1996, starting with the eponymous release 'Ramones', and ending with 'Adios Amigos'. Several live and compilation albums were released, mostly during the last few years of the group.

Eat That Rat Lyrics
Ramones
One-two-three-four
You dont want to share with anyone else you got all the money, you got all the wealth
You got all the buildings and the factories you got all the power and the ceremonies
You wanna play a game of cat and mouse with the president in the white house
This is a hungry world, there are months to feed there are millionaires with more than they need
Eat that rat eat that rat eat that rat eat that rat
One-two-three-four
Dont believe what youve been told you cant change a turd into gold
Somehow we get all these creeps in control it makes me throw up in the toilet bowl
You thieving whore, you hustle for bucks you take the money and you shoot it up
Thats the breaks, its the chance you take get it together for your childrens sake
Eat that rat eat that rat eat that rat eat that rat
