Lyrics

Scatter the Rats

[Verse 1]

Rattle the walls

Let the plaster break

Turn the lights on

And see the big one shake

[Chorus]

Scatter the rats

Scatter the rats

[Verse 2]

Some people say pigeons are rats with wings

These can’t fly get rid of these things

Leaving a trail of destructive wake

Get 'em gone for heaven’s sake

[Verse 3]

When the rats show up as bullies and takes

Feeding on corruption and spitting out hate

Stay high and wide, when they’re too low to combat

Turn up the volume and scatter the rats

[Chorus]

Scatter the rats

Scatter the rats
