A rat is called a rat is called a rat is called a rat
The leader of society
A lie to rule the world
Watching all the trust break and unfurl
A symptom of the universe
When power will arise
The tower it's all built upon is lies
A rat is called a rat is called a rat is called a rat
You wear a cloak of red
Your fake crown upon your head
Dying whispers bring us to the end
Liar, killer, master of disguise
The suffering you cause
It gets you high
Society's been plagued by rulers without choice
Cut off their heads, the next day they're replaced
Try to kill'em all
Like a weed they just grow back
A rat is just a rat is just a rat
Can't kill the rat kill the rat kill the rat
A man may change
His face and his clothes
Til he becomes someone nobody knows
But inside he's the same
Ooo and that's a fact
A rat is just a rat is just a rat
A rat is called a rat is called a rat is called a rat!
