Rich Rat Rhapsody II

Punishment we know none
But when the seeds that we come from are spread to see the sun
Privilege is part of the American dream and it seems
We're swimming in the shadows polluted or clean and I mean
The shade seems so enticing to me
Untouchable like the lightning I'll be
Top of the mountain eating grass up with the goats
In a mansion made of gold
And my father's favorite gun

Punishment we know none
But when the seeds that we come from are spread to see the sun
Privilege is part of the American dream and it seems
We're swimming in the shadows polluted or clean and I mean
The shade seems so enticing to me
Untouchable like the lightning I'll be
Top of the mountain eating grass up with the goats
In a mansion made of gold
And my father's favorite gun

Tell my bones they did a good job holding me up
Tell my folks they raised a boy that's good enough
Tell my eyes that they can see what I cannot
Tell my mind that it is worthless without a thought

Tell my fingers they don't mean a thing without a string
Tell my feet they don't know where to go without a street
But when you tell me there's nothing here for me
Don't expect me to give up and fall down on my knee yeah

Tell my legs they cannot run when there's nowhere to go
Tell my heart it's wasting time keeping my dreams afloat
Tell my friends they're blessed to have me and me for them
Tell my soul that we are happy and well content

Tell my thoughts to take a break they've been running too much
Tell my fingers to let go of it and loosen their clutch
Speak for the world and to the Earth and wish peace for her
'Cause speaking is creation, she could use a word.

We going down
Down
Down
Down
All of my friends are down

Down, down, down, down, all of my friends are down
Down, down, down, down, all of my friends are down
Down, down, down, down, all of my friends are down

Like the salting of the sea
The anger in the room
These are all my deeds
I've done them all for you
I am so sorry
For everything I do
But we are all rats to the feeding, follow the piper to our doom

I want you screaming ooh
