Year Of The Rat

Here at least ya know, it's always gonna be a gray sky
Least i know with you it's always gonna be a bad time
You and me we play at games
We're never gonna get right
Least i know with you it's always gonna be a big fight
But it doesn't matter, doesn't matter
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter

Apathy is golden
Apathy is good
Apathy was stolen from the misunderstood
(been disconnected)

He's been like some black fly that's been swarming around my head
Funny, but i thought 100% was yours

But it doesn't matter, doesn't matter
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter
No, doesn't matter, doesn't matter
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter

Apathy is golden
Apathy is good
Apathy was stolen from the misunderstood
(been disconnected)
If i'm rejected i'll be protected

Apathy is golden
Apathy is golden
Apathy is golden
Apathy is golden

Sunday morning brings the dawning
It's just a restless feelin' by my side
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's just a wasted year so close behind

Watch out
The world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all

Sunday morning and i'm falling
I got a feeling i don't want to know
Early dawning
Sunday morning
These are the streets you crossed not so long ago

Watch out the world's behind you
There is always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all

Watch out
The world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all

When i first heard this sound
I couldn't put it down
It made my life complete
Aint it neat
And when i went to bed
It went clawing at my head
It made me feel so dirty
Made me feel so clean

I want be your rock n' roll
I wanna be your rock n' roll
Ya know i wanna be your rock n' roll
And it's only 'cuz i like it
Ooh yeah, i like it
Oh, yeah

And if i can be that
Then put me in your hat
And wear me on your head
Yeah, that's what i said
Well, if i can't be that
Then pour me in your cup
C'mon drink me up, c'mon drink me

I wanna be your rock n' roll
I wanna be your rock n' roll
Ya know, i wanna be your push n' pull
And it's only 'cuz, i like it
Ooh yeah, i like it
Oh, yeah

And you know i like it when you spit
Oh, i like it when ya spit
And when you do that
You know i'm getting wet
Wear me on your head
Yeah, that what i said

Ya know i wanna be your push n' pull
And it only cuz' i like it

I wanna be your heaven n' hell
I wanna be your push 'n pull

I wanna be your rock n' roll

There's shelter in misery
Everyone feels just like me
It's too heavy to lift myself
So put me up back on the shelf
Your eyes are wild tonight
Three in the morning new york city time
And twenty-four hours later
We're still feelin' fine
Now every night and every day, now
I'm falling apart, i'm rippin' apart

Don't rip me, don't rip me up
Don't tear me, don't tear me down
I got nothing to hold me together no more
So tonight just let me curl up on the floor

My money has all been spent
Kicked out over three months rent now
I dreamed one day i'd meet the president
Now every night and every day, now
I'm falling apart
I'm rippin' apart

Don't rip me, don't rip me up baby
Don't tear me, tear me down
I got nothing to hold me together no more
So tonight just let me curl up on the floor

Don't rip me, don't rip me up
Don't tear me, tear me down
I got nothing to hold me together no more
So tonight just let me curl up on the floor

Don't rip me, don't rip me up baby
Don't tear me, tear me down
I got nothing to hold me together
I got nothing to hold me together now

Don't rip me up
Don't tear me down
"cuz i got nothin' to hold me together
I got nothing
I got nothing
I got nothing
I got nothing

Hide your bones
Hide your skin
Hide your money
Hide your sin
Hide your heart
Hide your soul
Shut your mouth
Say you don't know

Hide your face
Hide your name
Hide your past
Hide your pain
Cut your scars on a window pane
Hide your tears in the rain

And every night you go to sleep
Your still hidin' in your dreams
Don't want no one to know you well
You're so afraid you don't know yourself

Hide your head
Hide your skin
Hide your price for everything
Hide you sadness
Hide your smile
Hide the truth and your denial

And every night you go to sleep
Your still hidin' in your dreams
Don't want no one to know you well
You're so afraid you don't know yourself

Hide your bones
Hide your skin
Hide your price for everything
Ya turn away and ya shift the blame
Now ya feel no shame

And every night you go to sleep
Your still hidin' in your dreams
Don't want no one to know you well
You're so afraid you don't know yourself

Hide your head
Hide your skin
Hide your price for everything
Hide you sadness
Hide your smile
Hide the truth and your denial
And every night you go to sleep
Your still hidin' in your dreams

She was such a pretty suicide
Oh, what a beautiful mess
She was such a pretty suicide
Right now she looks her best
Over 50 story fall to stardom
She found her fame top of a car
50 stories she could have told
How life pushed her a little too far

And she was such a pretty suicide
Oh, what beautiful mess
She was such a pretty suicide
Snap a photo so you don't forget it

Now i often stop and wonder
How on earth she could have done it
Twisted up yet all fixed up
And how i wish i could have held her

And life can be so cruel
To such a pretty girl
She's made it all so clear
Out the window with all her fear

Ya know, she was such a pretty suicide
Oh, what a beautiful mess now
She was such a pretty suicide
Oh, what a beautiful mess now

She was such a pretty suicide
Oh, what a pretty suicide
She was such a pretty suicide
Oh, what a pretty suicide
Oh, what a pretty suicide
Oh, what a pretty suicide
