lyrics

They’ll never forgive us
For what they did to us
Don’t even try
Put that pork-pie hat on
You are Marlon Brando’s female guise

You’re so wrong you are right
You belong inside this night

We walk the sharp of knives
We die and stay alive
We sail their ships at sea
Beneath the sailors’ feet
We watch what tries to hide
We’re hiding in plain sight
We talk what will not speak

What rats are we

We know every variation
Of humiliation
And insults you
Can’t help but believe
People know to walk away
But some know how to stay
And how to feed
We know how to feed
What rats are we

I can watch their buildings
Fall and rise
If your black tarpaper eyes
Keep lifting me
And Miles Davis plays slow
While your fingers slide below
And ride me free

We’re so wrong we are right
We belong inside this night

We walk the sharp of knives
We die and stay alive
We sail their ships at seas
Beneath the sailors’ feet
We watch what tries to hide
We’re hiding in plain sight
We talk what will not speak

What rats are we
