Wise Blood Rat
I had a dog but he died
Kissed a wire and fried
Didn't even have time to take his body outside
Whole armies circled up started having a feast
Didn't waste a single bit from his head to his feet
And I can cry all I want but it won't matter much
At the end of the day I know the Rat King is boss
I can hear him in the wall always cracking his whip
He's got a little eye patch and an iron fist
If you really piss him off he'll come looking for you
He's got a whole group of friends, twenty more than I knew
And I can argue all I want but it won't matter much
At the end of the day I know the Rat King is boss
Nice days I spend far away
I run the risk of getting stormed if I show my face
Had this crazy idea, we could strike up a truce
But I don't have any leverage so it's really no use
And I can cry all I want but it won't matter much
At the end of the day I know the Rat King is boss
All the traps I set just ended up in my bed
With a gallon of blood and a dead cat's head
I've been keeping it cool but it's been getting to me
I've got these vivid nightmares every time that I sleep
And I can argue all I want but it won't matter much
At the end of the day I know the Rat King is boss
One day soon I'm gonna run outta room
I'm gonna buy a new dog and he'll smell like perfume
But until that time I will be stuck right here
Living half my life swallowed up by this fear
And I can cry all I want but it won't matter much
At the end of the day I know the Rat king is boss
The battle lines have been drawn, though, we call it a con
Now it's just me and him and that's what I really want
It's time that I took a stand 'cause I've been under attack
I'm going in for the kill, I'm not sure that I'll be back
