Meat Puppets

Rat Farm

If you see me don't run away in shame

You will not enjoy tomorrow unless you feel the pain

Of my whips and my daggers and my chains

And my teeth and the bitings that they bring ...

I built the ocean, I make it wave

I control your children with the candy that they crave

And the trees and the mountains and their chains

And the thorns and the stickers and the flames

Of the fires that are smoldering in your brain ...

Hallelujah ... I'm rotten to the core

And I take what I want and take a little more

I run a rat farm right here in your town

And there's just no money to keep me from coming around

Out to the country I go some times

To jumble up the letters of a peaceful country rhyme

With my smoke and my mirrors I will crawl

On my belly to your bedroom down the hall

For the most exciting spectacle of all ...

Hallelujah ... I'm rotten to the core

And I take what I want and take a little more

I run a rat farm right here in your town

And there's just no money to keep me from coming around

All of the water is filtered through my bones

I will trade you nothing for everything you own

And I'll chew through the wiring in your phone

And I'll overrun your village with my clones

And slap you and tell you you're stoned

Hallelujah ... I'm rotten to the core

And I take what I want and take a little more

I run a rat farm right here in your town

And there's just no money to keep me from coming around

I'm rotten to the core

And I take what I want and take a little more

I run a rat farm right here in your town

And there's just no money to keep me from coming around
