lyrics

It’s like chasing a rat with infectious disease
crossing the land with insidious ease
Chasing a rat with its black heart burning
fueled by the blood of the starlit millions
Chasing a rat in the digital meltdown
a toxic soup bubbling over flames of the boomtown
Chasing a rat of black death and white lies
a cancerous filth forever clouding your eyes

Chasing a rat through a Perspex maze
under constant inspection from the hand that feeds
Chasing a rat in this white wash variegation
it’s the blood of your lover dripping off the hands of the nation
Chasing a rat and when you look at its eye
it’s a total enigma the anxiety will paralyze
Chasing a rat it’ll steal away your trust
come from below to scurry with the filth on the upper crust
Chasing a rat through our humble beginnings
as you get deeper down the hole the pickings get slimmer
Chasing a rat but this snake has fangs
you’ll feel the venom rush to your heart then you’ll be cleansed.
They’ll dig so low… there’ll be no underground
They’ll dig so low… there’ll be no underground
They’ll dig so low… it’s gonna breakdown
They’ll dig so low… it’s gonna shutdown
