[Verse 1]
I am a waste of air space
I'd rather play kiss-chasin' with the old man
Than join the daily rat-race
Today
The smokes are going to kill me
I haven't dragged me body off the rolly-coaster
A cough like a coal miner
A pair of lungs like two bin liners
[Verse 2]
Me brain has chosen a slow pace
I'd rather lick the gums of bitter nun
Than go and join the daily rat-race
Today
The nights are going to kill me
And me back is going rash-up
If I'm not careful enough
It'll have me pushing daisies up
[Chorus]
And I am fuckin' hanging
And me head is fuckin' banging
Hey, it's the call of the rat king
Oh, and I've a bad case of the rats
[Bridge]
The call of the rat king
The call of the rat king
The call of the rat king
The call of the rat king
[Verse 3]
Integrity is a no-trace
I'd rather smear me lips with a badger's piss
Than go and join the daily rat-race
Today
The spice is going to kill me
I had to buy a Calippo
For the bum to help make it dumb
But the fear's still here
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear
[Chorus]
And I am fuckin' hanging
And me head is fuckin' banging
Hey, it's the call of the rat king
Oh, and I've a bad case of the rats
And I am fuckin' hanging
And me head is fuckin' banging
Hey, it's the call of the rat king
Oh, and I've a bad case of the rats
[Bridge]
The call of the rat king
The call of the rat king
The call of the rat king
The call of the rat king
The call of the rat king
The call of the rat king
The call of the rat king
The call of the rat king
[Verse 4]
So pencil me in for a hidin'
You sorry excuse, now give me the abuse
So pencil me in for a hidin'
You sorry excuse, you're a rat
You're just a rat
[Chorus]
And I am fuckin' hanging
And me head is fuckin' banging
Hey, it's the call of the rat king
Oh, and I've a bad case of the rats
And I am fuckin' hanging
And me head is fuckin' banging
Hey, it's the call of the rat king
Oh, and I've a bad case of the rats
[Bridge]
The call of the rat king
The call of the rat king
