Lyrics

Rottweiler

There's a snake in my boot
There's a rat in my cage
There's a shark at my feet
That's been circling for days
There's a vulture at my breakfast table
People think I'm insane
Rottweiler

There's a snake in my boot
There's a rat in my cage
There's a shark at my feet
That's been circling for days and days
There's a vulture at my breakfast table
People think I'm insane
There's a ghost in my bed
There's milk in my coffee
Rottweiler

Keep going
Keep going
Go
Smash it, ruin it, destroy the world
Burn the house down
Unity
