Ben Liebrand Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every dog will have it's day
That's what people used to say
Now and then that's not the case
There's a fat cat 'round the place

Cat's away, the rats will surely go down
Listen up 'cause I'm tellin' you the lowdown

What does it matter if he keeps getting fatter
What does it matter if fat cat's getting fatter

Fat cat keeps getting fatter

He comes in most every night
Wakes me up before daylight
All around he doesn't mind
Pit pat pit pat pit pat all the time

Cat's away, the rats will surely go down
Listen up 'cause I'm tellin' you the lowdown

What does it matter if he keeps getting fatter
What does it matter if fat cat's getting fatter

Fat cat keeps getting fatter

Fat cat keeps getting fatter
Fat cat keeps getting fatter

Overall Meaning

The song "643" by Ben Liebrand has a catchy beat with lyrics that seem to be discussing societal issues. The chorus of the song, "Fat cat keeps getting fatter," appears to be a commentary on wealth inequality and the elitist mindset of those who hoard resources. The first verse introduces the idea that every dog will have its day, but unfortunately, that isn't the case for everyone. The second verse continues to describe how the "fat cat" is around all the time, making noise and disrupting the singer's sleep.

The chorus is repeated throughout the song, reinforcing the idea that the "fat cat" is getting fatter and that it doesn't seem to matter. The phrase "cat's away, the rats will surely go down" seems to imply that when the people with power are absent, those who have been oppressed will finally have a chance to rise up. However, the chorus undermines this idea by suggesting that the "fat cat" will continue to gain power no matter what.

Overall, the song "643" seems to be a critique of the systemic issues in society that allow the rich to get richer while the poor get poorer. It suggests that these issues are persistent and that even when people have the opportunity to address them, they often don't.
