lyrics
Is this silly paragon a marvel or a stain,
A fixture for the ages or a link of spoiled chain,
The ultra-modern statement of abominable crime,
In every nervous etching of its swaggering design.
Mother says my baby boy was born to be a star,
She doesn’t know that every night he stiffs the reservoir,
Churning out a fiction of ingenious for the kids,
How vermin learn to live in places life itself forbids.
I see hours of battered time,
Not for yours, I miss of mine,
I see holiness in ruin, I see barrenness for sale,
I see sexual provocation, without any inclination,
Of a history derailed,
I see a rat without a tale.
I see a rat without a tale.
I see a rat without a tale.
Now whats to come of Johnny in the autumn of his years,
The faulty institutions have the spiritless revered,
Ordinary dabble for the stationary buyer,
A song of slick vanilla sing the toxic-pigeon choir,
Peddler and poacher prove the very best of friends,
Associating produce to appropriated trends,
The cat is always hungry, that’s just how he got so fat.
“I think I hear a rattle snake, think I smell a rat”.
I see hours of battered time,
Not of yours, I miss of mine,
I see holiness in ruin, I see barrenness for sale,
I see sexual provocation, without any inclination,
Of a history derailed,
I see a rat without a tale.
I see a rat without a tale.
I see a rat without a tale.
A fixture for the ages or a link of spoiled chain,
The ultra-modern statement of abominable crime,
In every nervous etching of its swaggering design.
Mother says my baby boy was born to be a star,
She doesn’t know that every night he stiffs the reservoir,
Churning out a fiction of ingenious for the kids,
How vermin learn to live in places life itself forbids.
I see hours of battered time,
Not for yours, I miss of mine,
I see holiness in ruin, I see barrenness for sale,
I see sexual provocation, without any inclination,
Of a history derailed,
I see a rat without a tale.
I see a rat without a tale.
I see a rat without a tale.
Now whats to come of Johnny in the autumn of his years,
The faulty institutions have the spiritless revered,
Ordinary dabble for the stationary buyer,
A song of slick vanilla sing the toxic-pigeon choir,
Peddler and poacher prove the very best of friends,
Associating produce to appropriated trends,
The cat is always hungry, that’s just how he got so fat.
“I think I hear a rattle snake, think I smell a rat”.
I see hours of battered time,
Not of yours, I miss of mine,
I see holiness in ruin, I see barrenness for sale,
I see sexual provocation, without any inclination,
Of a history derailed,
I see a rat without a tale.
I see a rat without a tale.
I see a rat without a tale.
