Lyrics

Rats

Well giving up to death, terror and hate

Feeling full of meth, I just can't wait

Give the rats what they want

Give the rats what they want

Open the cage, give the rats what they want

Oh, give me my cheese, the grill and the ride

Some bling and some sex and they glow inside

Give the rats what they want

Give the rats what they want

Just open the cage, give the rats what they want

Let 'em run the maze, let 'em ring the bell

Let 'em chase their tails, let 'em go to hell

Let them multiply, that's what they do

You better get them what they want

Or they're coming for you

Let 'em run the maze, let 'em ring the bell

Let 'em chase their tails, let 'em go to hell

Let them multiply, that's what they do

You better get them what they want

Or they're coming for you

Give the rats what they want

Give the rats what they want

Give the rats what they want

Give the rats what they want

Just open the cage, give the rats what they want

Open the cage, give the rats what they want

Oh, open the cage, give the rats what they want
