All the Rats Abandoning a Sinking Ship

from What Kind of Pet Defines You? by Werewolves

/

lyrics

Rats crawl in the subway tunnels
Through the filth on which they feed
Water rising to the ceiling
Wonder what it's like to breed
Dark and musty places I have been before
I traveled underground
And then the vengance came
I listened trying to hear the echos sound

Weapons manufacturer drives home to feed
The kids and wife
Economic think tanks wonder what it's like
To end a life
As far off children, hospitals, get blown up
A whole continent away
The business sector in Manhattan
Rings the bell on a new day

I believed in monsters as a child
Under my bed they hid
Don't open the closet door
I heard it say my name, it did

My friends I just got back from this labyrinth
I was trapped inside for several years
I grew so lachrymose I filled the goblet up
And he drank my tears
This lonely minotaur who lurks there still
Smoking bowls to ease his mind
How he resembles me, superficially
If only cuz I carry a great axe all of the time
