King of the Rat Bastards Lyrics


Wide open down the burning road
We were strung out, nailed, betrayed
All cylinders a heavy load
But we were all we hoped and dreamed to be
Caught fire in the final turn
We danced the death ballet
Not thinking with a heavy heart
I hit the supercharger to infamy
Hey there Mrs. California sensibility
Here's a message from the other side and no apology
Another day, another night, another born and mastered
Another way, another king of the rat bastards
We turned it up, had the speed we need
We were bug eyed, chin held high
As we all heard the self-applause
Backs turned away just in case she dies
Down the stretch of that burning road a tear in my eye
She held them off as our engine slowed

Was it much too late for infamy
Hey you Mr. way up there in Washington DC
Here's a message from the other side an no apology
We lead the deaf, the dumb, the blind, elite defined
We will soothe your ailing mind
We will give you more, more than you can find
What we go here is a fight to the death, no mediocrity
3 blind mice & a rat bastard, vs. miss liberty

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Overkill is an American thrash metal band formed in 1980 in New Jersey. The band has been active since 1984, releasing 16 studio albums, 2 EPs, 2 live albums and a "covers" album. Despite their first album being released in 1985, most of the songs appearing on their first two albums were written between 1981 and 1984, and as such, they are sometimes hailed as the inventors of thrash metal. The band also has a notable mascot (named Chaly), a skeletal bat with a skull-like face, bony wings, and green eyes.
