I hear but don't believe that Kissed a wailing rat Didn't even have time to take his body outside Four arms and pull ups all in habit to be Didn't waste a single minute from his head to his feet And I could cry all I want but it won't matter much At the end of the day I thought the rat king is boss I can hear him in the wall always cracking his whip He's got a little eye patch and an iron fist If you really piss him off he'll come looking for you He's got a whole group of friends, 20 more than I knew And I can argue all I want but it won't matter much At the end of the day I know the rat king is boss Last days I spent far away I run the risk of getting sawed if I show my face Had this crazy idea, we could shack up a truce But I don't have any leverage so it's really no use And I could cry all I want but it won't matter much At the end of the day I thought the rat king is boss All the trash that I said just ended up in my bed With a gallon of blood and a dead cat's head I've been keeping it cool but it's been getting to me I've got these vivid nightmares every time that I sleep And I can argue all I want but it won't matter much At the end of the day I know the rat king is boss One day soon I'm gonna rent out a room I'm gonna buy a new dog and he's smell like perfume But until that time I will be stuck right here Where half my life's swallowed up by this fear And I can cry all I want but it won't matter much At the end of the day I know the rat king is boss Them other mice have been gone though we call it a don Now it's just me and him and that's what I really want It's time that I took a stand cause I'm in under attack I'm going in for the kill, I'm not sure that I'll be back
