New York City Rat
You're scared of snakes and spiders
You're scared of catching cold
You're scared of other people
You're scared to be alone
You're scared of wasting money
So you're scared of having fun
You're scared of home intruders
So you bought yourself a gun
You're scared of both your parents
You're scared of your hometown
You're scared of staying home
And you're scared of going out
You're scared of motor vehicles
And pennies on the tracks
You're scared of being honest
'Cuz you're scared to face the facts
But I'm a New York City rat!
(I'm a New York City rat!)
I ain't scared of none of that!
(I ain't scared of none of that!)
I've been swimming where you shat!
(I've been swimming where you shat!)
I'm a New York City Rat!
(I'M A NEW YORK CITY RAT!)
You're scared of all your neighbors
You're scared of petty crime
You're scared someday you'll have to say "I'll love you for all time"
You fear the day you're independent bubble has to burst
Of all the things you're scared of
Commitment is the worst
'Cuz separation sneers from every corner, every turn
Every word you ever say is just a chance to crash and burn
Now I don't wanna lear the math, to count the flaws of man
I wanna feel for you, but I just don't think I can
'Cuz I'm a New York City rat!
(I'm a New York City rat!)
I ain't scared of none of that!
(I ain't scared of none of that!)
I've been swimming where you shat!
(I've been swimming where you shat!)
I'm a New York City Rat!
(I'M A NEW YORK CITY RAT!)
While you live your pretty life
In the sunlight and fresh air
In your static-free apparel
And your sanitary hair
I'm down here in the darkness
Making friends with all the bats
I'll overcome it all
'Cuz I'm a New York City rat
I'm a New York City rat!
(I'm a New York City rat!)
I ain't scared of none of that!
(I ain't scared of none of that!)
I've been swimming where you shat!
(I've been swimming where you shat!)
I'm a New York City Rat!
(I'M A NEW YORK CITY RAT!)
I'm a New York City rat!
You're scared of catching cold
You're scared of other people
You're scared to be alone
You're scared of wasting money
So you're scared of having fun
You're scared of home intruders
So you bought yourself a gun
You're scared of both your parents
You're scared of your hometown
You're scared of staying home
And you're scared of going out
You're scared of motor vehicles
And pennies on the tracks
You're scared of being honest
'Cuz you're scared to face the facts
But I'm a New York City rat!
(I'm a New York City rat!)
I ain't scared of none of that!
(I ain't scared of none of that!)
I've been swimming where you shat!
(I've been swimming where you shat!)
I'm a New York City Rat!
(I'M A NEW YORK CITY RAT!)
You're scared of all your neighbors
You're scared of petty crime
You're scared someday you'll have to say "I'll love you for all time"
You fear the day you're independent bubble has to burst
Of all the things you're scared of
Commitment is the worst
'Cuz separation sneers from every corner, every turn
Every word you ever say is just a chance to crash and burn
Now I don't wanna lear the math, to count the flaws of man
I wanna feel for you, but I just don't think I can
'Cuz I'm a New York City rat!
(I'm a New York City rat!)
I ain't scared of none of that!
(I ain't scared of none of that!)

'Cuz I'm a New York City rat
I'm a New York City rat!
(I'm a New York City rat!)
I ain't scared of none of that!
(I ain't scared of none of that!)
I've been swimming where you shat!
(I've been swimming where you shat!)
I'm a New York City Rat!
(I'M A NEW YORK CITY RAT!)
I'm a New York City rat!
