Rats (Albany 2006-05-12) Songtext
von Pearl Jam

They don′t eat, don't sleep
They don′t feed, they don't seethe
Bare their gums when they moan and squeak
Lick the dirt off a larger one's feet

They don′t push, don′t crowd
Congregate until they're much too loud
Fuck to procreate till they are dead
Drink the blood of their so-called best friend

They don′t scurry when something bigger comes their way
Don't pack themselves together and run as one
Don′t shit where they're not supposed to
Don′t take what's not theirs, they don't compare

They don′t scam, don′t fight
Don't oppress an equal′s given rights
Starve the poor so they can be well fed
Line their holes with the dead ones' bread, no no


They don′t scurry when something bigger comes their way
Don't pack themselves together and run as one
Don′t shit where they're not supposed to
Don't take what′s not theirs, they don′t compare

They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
Don′t pack themselves together and run as one
Don't shit where they′re not supposed to
Don't take what′s not theirs

They don't compare, rats
They don't compare, rats
They don′t compare

Ben, the two of us need look no more
Ben, the two of us need look no more
Ben, the two of us need look no more
Ben, the two of us need look no more
Ben, the two of us need look no more
Ben, the two of us need look no more
