Kill the rat, eat the cow, feed the cat
Kill the rat, eat the cow, feed the cat
Kill the rat, eat the cow, feed the cat
Kill the rat, eat the cow, feed the cat
My spit is stickin’ full of garbage
It hangs in puddles like drowned worms
The morning after storms
Your perspective is subjective
So you think it’s all connected
They charge you for the poison
Then they charge you for the cure
Kill the rat, eat the cow, feed the cat
Kill the rat, eat the cow, feed the cat
Kill the rat, eat the cow, feed the cat
Kill the rat, eat the cow, feed the cat
Man you can run, and you can hide
But the call is coming from inside
You live your life along the line
Or argue on until we die
And all the worlds and all the songs
And all the times you sang along
All the symbols have been drawn
But the meaning’s gone
And on your smile, and on your heart
Were not so lonely, lonely, lonely lonely
And on the way we’ve come apart
You think you know, you don’t know, no, no
Your brains, the numbers, and the letters
We are alone in this together
Forgetting ourselves with each other
We are alone in this together
Time will only wait for so long
And all the things you made will be gone
It’s closer now
I’m older now
But it just keeps on goin’ round
It knocks me over, slows me down
But I can’t let it hold me down
Well, with all the words, and all the songs
And all the times you sang it wrong
All the halos and the horns
But the meaning’s gone
And all your smiles, and all your hearts
Were not so lonely, lonely, lonely lonely
And on the way we’ve come apart
You think you know, you don’t know, you know, you know
Your brains, the numbers and the letters
We are alone in this together
Forgetting ourselves with each other
We are alone in this together
Time will only wait for so long
And all the things you made will be gone
(Open the throttle! All aboard, the promised land! Pillars of smoke by day, pillars of fire by night! Machines to make machines, production to expand production! Enough for tens, thousands, millions, millions!)
