Rancid - Rats in the Hallway lyrics
[Rancid - Rats in the Hallway lyrics]
Stop! Here we go!
Knock knock, come in
You wanna fight, I'm gonna win
I'll take you out in a minute
Step in my flat and see what's in it
I live in the land of the welfare state
My flat used to be Section 8
Now it's rat-infested, cocaine run
My whole world plays like a broken drum
Junkie, drunken bum
Yeah, yeah, yeah, rats in the hallway again
Get up, get out, go ahead and ride away
Sit up our bed up your bed to lay
Kick up or rip up this place apart
Even when I'm finished, I'm back at the start
I'm out of line on Adeline Street
Heat don't keep this crooked beat
4 am, no waves breaking
What's left of the pm the am has taken
Junkie, drunken bum
Yeah, yeah, yeah, rats in the hallway again
Outside my gate, my crew is drinking a 40
Asked me if there's still rats in the hallway
I said some things aren't like the weather
Never seen 'em changing for the better
This girl came up to me she said
She would do me no harm
Rolled up her sleeve and showed me
The tracks on her arm
I said what's your name, she said it was Mia
She said Tim, I wanna take you higher
Junkie, drunken bum
Yeah, yeah, yeah, rats in the hallway again
Zombie walking kid out on his
Own with no morale mr high leaves the body
In comes Mr withdrawal
Pain is the only thing the body will allow
The kid wants to dance
The gangster knows how
Johnny bought some dope on Civic and Market
Shoot up and boot up the human target
He hit the dirty spike when he hit the scene
It's easy to stay dirty when nothing is clean
He's a writer who tags up Jackal
Jackal just clamped on unclampable shackles
Boot up, shoot up some dope to go
Like legal currency, it's money you know
It's like that, rat tat tat
Kid got shot point blank in the back
My landlord said, not to be bumming
He was on cocaine stoop and he had it coming
He had it coming? He was only 12 years old
Sitting in a blizzard
He got shot for being cold
It don't seem right tonight
Hit the lights alright
Watch the roaches run into the darkest room
Junkie, drunken bum
Yeah, yeah, yeah, rats in the hallway again
Junkie, drunken bum
Yeah, yeah, yeah, rats in the hallway again
Knock knock, come in
You wanna fight, I'm gonna win
I'll take you out in a minute
Step in my flat and see what's in it
I live in the land of the welfare state
My flat used to be Section 8
Now it's rat-infested, cocaine run
My whole world plays like a broken drum
Junkie, drunken bum
Yeah, yeah, yeah, rats in the hallway again
Get up, get out, go ahead and ride away
Sit up our bed up your bed to lay
Kick up or rip up this place apart
Even when I'm finished, I'm back at the start
I'm out of line on Adeline Street
Heat don't keep this crooked beat
