3. Rats Return (5:40)
Leave your principles at the door
Spare me
Purge your guilt for the nameless hoards
Thrill me, you clown
You always beat the system somehow
Now the rats return to take their bow
A dog wakes inside the carnivore
A heart bleeds
A conscience won't help you to win the war
So fool me, you fraud
You always beat the system somehow
Now the rats return to take their bow
Genghis K
Pinochet
Mao Tse Tung
Kim Il-Sung
Spare me
Purge your guilt for the nameless hoards
Thrill me, you clown
You always beat the system somehow
Now the rats return to take their bow
A dog wakes inside the carnivore
A heart bleeds
A conscience won't help you to win the war
So fool me, you fraud
You always beat the system somehow
Now the rats return to take their bow
Genghis K
Pinochet
Mao Tse Tung
Kim Il-Sung
