Paroles de Rat King

Peaceful people peelin' paint
Entitlement is idle time
So push it forward, navigate
Your common thread was born a hate crime

Keep tryin' to unscrew the bulb
Smother the last flicker of white heat
But the evil shines right through
Demonic arrogance is a timeless luxury

Feed the rat, feed the rat king
Crawlin' under my skin
Feed the rat, feed the rat king
Then take it all away from him

Now starve him to the brink
Olly olly oxen free
Stop and fuckin' think
Of how much oxygen you need
To make your point clear
To snuff out every bit of hate
To pull its rottеn teeth
To instill its own rendition of fear

Still tryin' to unscrew thе bulb
So we set fire to the basement beams Crawlin' under my skin
Feed the rat, feed the rat king
Then take it all away from him
Feed the rat, feed the rat king
Crawlin' under my skin
Feed the rat king
Then take it all away from him
Oh


And we will unscrew the bulb
With unapologetic unity
Atop the ashes will grow
A place for all
A place we'll know
That we can breathe
We're in control

Feed the rat, feed the rat king
Crawlin' under my skin
Feed the rat, feed the rat king
Then take it all away from him
Feed the rat, feed the rat king
Crawlin' under my skin
Feed the rat king
Then take it all away from him
