lyrics

Plague rats everywhere
But as long as business is booming
Why should I care?
Teeth, claws and guns bared
Red hats, blue too, ignorance proving
To boost shares

Parasite draining, hoarding
Bleeding dry the 99th
Rare vermin spreading, rising
Fever breaking 99

Plague rats everywhere
Innocents die while terrorists
Walk free everywhere
Teeth, claws and guns bared
Take away your badge and let's see
Just how you would fare

You wanna talk about fair?
How many people are going nowhere?
How many people are denied aid
While these rats apply a corporate bandaid?
You wanna talk about fair?
How many people need to be shot dead
In the streets before you rats finally admit
We're not just beating a dead horse?

The river mighty, wash away
Any fighting chance that we had
The river might, rife with disease
The plague gains traction
The cost, we are lost

Plague rats everywhere
Got a nest burrowed deep down
Into the big White House
Teeth, claws and guns bared
Pouring out of the swamp and
Into your cabinet

Where they'll slowly quietly strip away
Any semblance of a life you had
