Lyrics for We Know the Rats
Could've happened to anyone They came in through the back room Boarded up, but they came again We know the rats Call the cops, see what they do Scam calls to the wrong address Clever pigs never getting stressed Yeah, we know the rats These thieves have you sleeping rough Baseball bat Dmitri Young So your mind harries bigger ones We know the rats We know the rats Yeah, it might take some time Maybe Gadarene We have our ways to snare them They steal your hours Rob you for your wage Then make you bow and scrape Avarice forever Did the Christ feel bad For the gibbering swine He threw those demons in? I doubt he bats an eyelid We know the rats See their decadence The spite they hide A tattered rag of piety We know the rats Their cankered wealth When they weep and howl Then we'll know them better So collect those tears And wash your face The house is empty But the work remains So collect those tears And wash your face The house is empty But the work remains So collect those tears And wash your face The house is empty But the work remains So collect those tears And wash your face The house is empty
