Lyrics for Rats Return

Leave your principles at the door Spare me Purge your guilt for the nameless hoards Thrill me, you clown You always beat the system somehow Now the rats return to take their bow A dog wakes inside the carnivore A heart bleeds A conscience won't help you to win no war So fool me, you fraud You always beat the system somehow Now the rats return to take their bow Genghis Khan Pinochet Mao Tse-tung Kim Il-sung
