City Baby Attacked By Rats
G.B.H. · Race Against Time: Clay Years [2007]
The memory lingers on when
You were the same as us.
Three months old a child,
Still you lived off love and fuss.
City baby, city baby, city baby attacked by rats!
City baby, city baby, city baby attacked by rats!
Residing in a squalid place,
It can't be too much fun.
Your brain is getting eaten away
By the rat living in your skull.
City baby, city baby, city baby attacked by rats!
City baby, city baby, city baby attacked by rats!
A mutant at the age of one,
A human rodent cabbage.
It's hard to think a tiny thing
Can do that much damage.
City baby, city baby, city baby attacked by rats!
City baby, city baby, city baby attacked by rats!
The memory lingers on when
You were the same as us.
Three months old a child,
Still you lived off love and fuss.
City baby, city baby, city baby attacked by rats!
City baby, city baby, city baby attacked by rats!
You were the same as us.
Three months old a child,
Still you lived off love and fuss.
City baby, city baby, city baby attacked by rats!
City baby, city baby, city baby attacked by rats!
Residing in a squalid place,
It can't be too much fun.
Your brain is getting eaten away
By the rat living in your skull.
City baby, city baby, city baby attacked by rats!
City baby, city baby, city baby attacked by rats!

City Baby Attacked By Rats
G.B.H.'s "City Baby Attacked By Rats" stands as a defining track from their 2007 album *Race Against Time: Clay Years*. Released during the height of the English Breakbeat Hardcore movement, the song exemplifies the genre's signature blend of aggressive drum and bass rhythms and chaotic, sample-driven vocals. The track features the band's characteristic frantic energy and dark, urban atmosphere, reflecting the high-stakes intensity of their live performances and studio recordings from that era. As a staple of their discography, it captures the raw, unpolished aesthetic that has cemented G.B.H.'s legacy within the breakbeat hardcore community.
