I'm a Rat Songtext
von NOFX

I′m a rat in a trap
And I'm happy about that
Because everyone believes that I was caught

Now they feel so good about themselves
′Cause they like to watch me suffer
Until they found it in their hearts to help me out

So I thanked them and apologized for all my bad behavior
I blamed it on my addiction to cheese
Now everybody likes me and thinks I'm rehabilitated
And I finally get to do what the fuck I please

I'm a rat and I don′t wanna hear your sermon
I′m a vermin, and I'm always gonna gnaw on things
I know will aggravate you

I′m a rat acting like a good do'er
′Til I go back to my sewer
And ingest my chosen poisons


I'm a rat (ah)
I′m a rat (ah)
I'm a rat (ah)
I'm a rat (ah)

And I put myself in that trap
′Cause I′m a rat who won't race your human races
I don′t want the pole position
I won't live a competition

I′m a rat
Who figured out how to win without anybody losin'
Or at least not ever knowin′
They were beaten

'Cause I'm a rat
I′m a rat
I′m a rat
I'm a rat

And I put myself in that trap
And I′m happy about that
