Lyrics

Rats

Life of the party, yeah, ain't nohody got hands in your heart
And hearts in your hallway
Fairly certain I'm important
With an arm and a leg in the doorway

What's the point?
Give it up, you're outta your head
And you're old enough
Aching joints give you up
You're solid your body and look

If you're wondering what's the story?
You got high and bored me, you're hating yourself
If you're wondering, what's the story?
You got drunk and horny, you're hating yourself

I'm not a rat, if you're not a rat
I won't say nothing if you touch me like that
I said, "I'm not a rat, if you're not a rat"
A rat, a rat, a rat

Push me, step back, dirty basis
You're hungry for hearts, but my humor is tasteless
Sell me myself, while I'm sober
Feed me fun 'til the fallacy's over

What's the point?
Give it up, you're outta your head
And you're old enough
Aching joints give you up
You're solid your body and look

If you're wondering what's the story?
You got high and bored me, you're hating yourself
If you're wondering, what's the story?
You got drunk and horny, you're hating yourself

I'm not a rat, if you're not a rat
I won't say nothing if you touch me like that
I said, "I'm not a rat, if you're not a rat"
A rat, a rat, a rat
I'm not a rat, if you're not a rat
I won't say nothing if you touch me like that
I said, "I'm not a rat, if you're not a rat"
A rat, a rat, a rat

If you're wondering what's the story?
You got high and bored me, you're hating yourself
If you're wondering, what's the story?
You got drunk and horny, you're hating yourself

You're hating yourself
