"Why Are The Rats?" lyrics

This town won't know what hit it
This town don't know what's right
This town won't know what day it is
When we get off the fence, stand and fight

In hindsight, I should've known better
Those warnings all came true
But I thought you were one of us
I was wrong
There'll be a sad place in hell for you

I don't need no four-leaf clover
I'm way too busy making my own luck
I'm sitting pretty in my decadence
I got everything that I don't want

You can't destroy your problems
By putting them on someone else
It's all outcast 'til you start to choke
Then in the end you'll destroy yourself

Why are the rats?
Why are the rats?
Why are the rats above the ground
Everything's been took upside down
Why are the rats above the ground
They can lead us all to water
They can make us drown
Why are the rats?
Why are the rats?
Why are the rats above the ground

It's a hundred seconds to midnight
Another victim of your own decay
You got carpe diem tattooed on your skin
But you're constantly seizing the wrong bloody day

If you think that you are beaten
If you think you dare, you don't
If you love to win, but think you can't
There's a good chance that you won't

Why are the rats?
Why are the rats?
Why are the rats above the ground
Everything's been took upside down
Why are the rats above the ground
They can lead us all to water
They can make us drown
Why are the rats?
Why are the rats?

If we're granted to live, don't blow cyanide kisses
Snitches get stitches and end up in ditches
Make sure you taste your words before you spit 'em out
If you rat on your friends, better check them out or else

Why are the rats?
Why are the rats?
Why are the rats above the ground
Everything's been took upside down
Why are the rats above the ground
They can lead us all to water
They can make us drown
Why are the rats?
Why are the rats?
Why are the rats above the ground
Why are the rats?
Why are the rats?
Why are the rats above the ground
