Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Could've happened to anyone
They came in through the back room
Boarded up, but they came again
We know the rats
[Verse 2]
Call the cops, see what they do
Scam calls to the wrong address
Clever pigs never getting stressed
Yeah, we know the rats
[Verse 3]
These thieves have you sleeping rough
Baseball bat Dmitri Young
So your mind harries bigger ones
We know the rats
[Bridge]
We know the rats
Yeah, it might take some time
May be gardarene
We have our ways to snare them
[Bridge]
They steal your hours
Rob you for your wage
Then make you bow and scrape
Avarice forever
[Bridge]
Did the Christ feel bad
For the gibbering swine
He threw those demons in?
I doubt he bat an eyelid
[Bridge]
We know the rats
See their decadence
The spite they hide
A tattered rag of piety
[Bridge]
We know the rats
Their cankered wealth
When they weep and howl
Then we'll know them better
[Chorus]
So collect those tears
And wash your face
The house is empty
But the work remains
[Chorus]
So collect those tears
And wash your face
The house is empty
But the work remains
[Chorus]
So collect those tears
And wash your face
The house is empty
But the work remains
[Outro]
So collect those tears
And wash your face
The house is empty
