Rat Who Would Be King

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while

Once you're in, you're pretty much fucked

When I was the rat

The rat who would be king

I imagined typhoid and us alone

Always us alone

And I've waited on the sidelines all this time

And I've a grenade

With our names scratched on the side

But that's love and you know that love's not enough

Crawl from the sea, wait for some thumbs

A greatness to breed, build the mall of America

When I was rat

The rat would be king

I imagined ashes and us alone

Always us alone

And I've waited on the sidelines all this time

And I've a grenade

With our names scratched on the side

But that's just love and you know that love's not enough
