Lyrics
Leader of the rats
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Crawling in the slime
Dirt infested minds
Always second best, leader of the rats
Spreading their disease
Hiding behind trivial cynicism
Venomous tongues spitting forth lies
So quick to criticize the life of others
Who are you to judge us
On a higher plain
Our art lives on forever
You are the scum beneath us
Fighting your pathetic battle
Anonymous animosity
Dirt infested minds
You hide behind trivial cynicism
Venomous tongues spitting forth lies
So quick to criticize the life of others
Who are you to judge us
Laughing right into your face
As we watch your infantile behaviour
Love us or hate us - we don't care
We never aimed to please you
Anonymous animosity
Dirt infested minds
Anonymous animosity
Spreading their disease
Always second best
Leader Of The Rats
Spreading their disease
