Kill The Rat

Kill the rat, eat the cow, feed the cat Kill the rat, eat the cow, feed the cat Kill the rat, eat the cow, feed the cat Kill the rat, eat the cow, feed the cat My spit is stickin' full of garbage It hangs in puddles like drowned worms The morning after storms Your perspective is subjective So you think it's all connected They charge you for the poison Then they charge you for the cure Kill the rat, eat the cow, feed the cat Kill the rat, eat the cow, feed the cat Kill the rat, eat the cow, feed the cat Kill the rat, eat the cow, feed the cat Man you can run, and you can hide But the call is coming from inside You live your life along the line Or argue on until we die And all the worlds and all the songs And all the times you sang along All the symbols have been drawn But the meaning's gone And on your smile, and on your heart Were not so lonely, lonely, lonely lonely And on the way we've come apart You think you know, you don't know, no, no Your brains, the numbers, and the letters We are alone in this together Forgetting ourselves with each other We are alone in this together Time will only wait for so long And all the things you made will be gone It's closer now I'm older now But it just keeps on goin' round It knocks me over, slows me down But I can't let it hold me down Well, with all the words, and all the songs And all the times you sang it wrong All the halos and the horns But the meaning's gone And all your smiles, and all your hearts Were not so lonely, lonely, lonely lonely And on the way we've come apart You think you know, you don't know, you know, you know Your brains, the numbers and the letters We are alone in this together Forgetting ourselves with each other We are alone in this together Time will only wait for so long And all the things you made will be gone (Open the throttle! All aboard, the promised land! Pillars of smoke by day, pillars of fire by night! Machines to make machines Production to expand production! Enough for tens, thousands, millions, millions!)
