Matthew Good Band - Rat Who Would Be King lyrics

Once you're in you're pretty much fucked

When I was the rat

The rat who would be king

I imagined typhoid and us alone

Always us alone

And I've waited on the sidelines all this time

And I've a grenade

With our names scratched on the side

But that's love

And you know that love's not enough

Crawl from the sea

Wait for some thumbs

A greatness to breed

Build the mall of America

When I was rat

The rat would be king

I imagined ashes and us alone

Always us alone

And I've waited on the sidelines all this time

And I've a grenade

With our names scratched on the side

But that's just love

And you know that love's not enough
