The Poetic Injustice of Rats

I am a rat on the starboard side
Gnawing at the shreds of a dead man's hide
Oh you've got to you've got to... you've got to
You've got to take what they give to you

A scavenger on a ship adrift
Anchored in an ocean drowned in blinding mist
Waves they buffet, oh fuck, they crush it
The timbers of this vessel become
The teeth of the sea, oh the teeth of the sea

You must
Attack! Send it down to the ocean floor.
We must attack... and then attack some more
Attack! Hello so we have returned to settle the score

A skulking rat on a city street
Relishing the odour of the rotting meat
Hearts be stopping. Your lives
Are rotting
Life... DEATH

You're filthy! You're feral! Repugnant society!
I thrive on the throwaways of your ideology. I'll plague
You like a cancer

You must
Attack! Send it down to the ocean floor.
We must attack... and then attack some more
Attack! Hello so we have returned to settle the score

And when your bones, they are all bare
And all that's left are the scraps of your hair
Your dim sockets look brighter than life
Oh tell someone who cares

Attack! Send it down to the ocean floor.
We must attack... and then attack some more
Attack! Hello so we have returned to settle the score
Attack! Send it down to the ocean floor.
We must attack... and then attack some more
