Protomartyr - We Know the Rats

Could’ve happened to anyone
They came in through the back room
Boarded up but they came again
We know the rats

Call the cops
See what they do
Scam calls to the wrong address
Clever pigs never getting stressed
We know the rats

These thieves have you sleeping rough
Baseball bat Dmitri Young
So your mind harries bigger ones
We know the rats

We know the rats
It might take some time
May be gardarene
We have our ways to snare them
They steal your hours
Rob you for your wage
Then make you bow and scrape
Avarice forever

Did the Christ feel bad
for the gibbering swine
he threw those demons in?
I doubt he bat an eyelid
We know the rats
See their decadence
The spite they hide
behind a tattered rag of piety

We know the rats
Their cankered wealth
When they weep and howl
Then we’ll know them better

So collect those tears and wash your face
The house is empty but the work remains
So collect those tears and wash your face
The house is empty but the work remains
So collect those tears and wash your face
The house is empty but the work remains
So collect those tears and wash your face
The house is empty but the work remains
