Lyrics
Rats And Mice And Swarms Of Lice
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.
It's not my fault.
i'm a victim of stolen youth,
born a villain.
this life impoverished,
this mind untrained--where else can i turn but to violence,
to the power of intimidation,
to attack and abuse?
forever searching for advantage,
any advantage.
it's not my fault.
i'm just following orders.
maintaining these sacred laws,
ever obedient.
forever searching for any sign of crime,
of deception.
unless crime would serve my own ends,
then i attack and abuse.
it's never my fault.
i'm a victim of unwarranted abuse.
born to privilege,
always on top,
but always on guard,
forever searching for any sign of threat.
we are not safe.
