All these rats are swimmin' for the land |
|
They ain't goin' down with the captain |
|
Same old rats that took a bite outa' me |
|
Darling way back when the word was mutiny |
|
Nothin' but a raft to carry me and my girl |
|
They just wrote us off |
|
Till we turned up blazing torches on their docks |
|
One night we're gonna' burn 'em down |
|
And the same goes for those who underestimate |
|
Said the love of my life was just another blind date |
|
You know I hardly had a single word edgewise |
|
Before the true believers started to drop like flies |
|
But I don't see 'em out parading arm in arm |
|
I see 'em dodging cars in harm's way |
|
You think with so many words of wisdom they could fill up a library |
|
But one night I'd have to burn it down |
|
One night I'd have to burn it down |
|
I can think of at least fourteen ways to disappear |
|
No I don't need to be told when it's plain as day I'm in the minority here |
|
But why must all the horrible people have all the cheer |
|
Blue green grass is standing somewhere still |
|
I know it is even if it's over landfill |
|
I got to think that there's still a tiny patch |
|
To raise some hens and watch those chickens hatch |
|
Browsing through the almanac I watch the stars |
|
That plummet now and then |
|
And I'm waiting for a flamin' shoe to drop on us again |
|
One night gonna burn it down |
|
One night we're gonna burn it down |
