Status Update
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.
You've got to go out and grab it
Watch me cause I took my chance
We're all just creatures of habit
And I'm a snake in a world of rats
Just give me
One reason
One reason why I should
Justify my actions
I don't really care
It's a shame (shame) (shame) (shame)
And it never felt so good
(shame) (shame) (shame)
Doing things I never could
(shame) (shame) (shame)
Substantial abuses
Baby I've got to go out
Some half assed excuses
Like it gives me things to write about
You've got me feeling tired and fat
Am I becoming a rat?
A fifthy rat.
