Rat King Lyrics
[00:30.67] Peaceful people peelin' paint
[00:34.21] Entitlement is idle time
[00:37.58] So push it forward, navigate
[00:40.75] Your common thread was born a hate crime
[00:44.61] Keep tryin' to unscrew the bulb
[00:48.03] Smother the last flicker of white heat
[00:52.01] But the evil shines right through
[00:54.47] Demonic arrogance is a timeless luxury
[00:58.59] Feed the rat, feed the rat king
[01:02.89] Crawlin' under my skin
[01:06.09] Feed the rat, feed the rat king
[01:09.22] Take it all away from him
[01:13.33] Now starve him to the brink
[01:16.68] Olly, olly oxen free
[01:20.45] Stop and fuckin' think
[01:24.14] Of how much oxygen you need
[01:27.90] To make your point clear
[01:31.49] To snuff out every bit of hate
[01:34.82] To pull its rotten teeth
[01:38.58] To instill its own rendition of fear
[01:42.15] Still tryin' to unscrew the bulb
[01:45.22] So, we set fire to the basement beams
[01:49.01] This modern freedom is a lie
[01:52.52] And we're all caught in its flames
[01:56.19] Feed the rat, feed the rat king
[01:59.87] Crawlin' under my skin
[02:03.35] Feed the rat, feed the rat king
[02:07.14] Take it all away from him
[02:10.31] Feed the rat, feed the rat king
[02:14.45] Crawlin' under my skin
[02:17.61] Feed the rat king
[02:21.48] Take it all away from him, oh
[02:23.82]
[02:39.26] And we will unscrew the bulb
[02:42.88] With unapologetic unity
[02:46.54] Atop, the ashes will grow
[02:49.68] A place for all, a place we'll know
[02:52.82] That we can breathe, we're in control
[02:57.15] Feed the rat, feed the rat king
[03:00.66] Crawlin' under my skin
[03:04.11] Feed the rat, feed the rat king
[03:07.85] Take it all away from him
[03:11.25] Feed the rat, feed the rat king
[03:15.33] Crawlin' under my skin
[03:18.28] Feed the rat king
[03:22.44] Take it all away from him
[03:25.39]
[00:34.21] Entitlement is idle time
[00:37.58] So push it forward, navigate
[00:40.75] Your common thread was born a hate crime
[00:44.61] Keep tryin' to unscrew the bulb
[00:48.03] Smother the last flicker of white heat
[00:52.01] But the evil shines right through

[03:15.33] Crawlin' under my skin
[03:18.28] Feed the rat king
[03:22.44] Take it all away from him
