[Verse 1]
There's a rat in a cage, you see
But the rat’s just a metaphor for me
Got four walls on every side
I've got four walls on every side

My teeth are cut to the quick
My stomach is always sick
There's a man out there
Who gives rewards for good behavior
So maybe I’ll get out sooner

[Chorus]
As I walk in, the door
Slams shut behind me, the floor
Disappears beneath my feet
Can anyone hear me that's not in the basement?
We're never gonna get out of here

[Verse 2]
This is the fastest growing county in America
So why, is everything shrinking?
There aren't any sidewalks
You can't walk anywhere
What the hell were they thinking?
[Bridge]
Might as well get a job
Might as well get one here
Might as well get a house
Might as well get one here
Might as well get a job
Might as well get one here
Might as well get a house
Might as well get one here

[Chorus]
As I walk in, the door
Slams shut behind me, the floor
Disappears beneath my feet
Can anyone hear me that's not in the basement?
We're never gonna get out of here

[Outro]
Oh, shut up
No one really cares
Oh, shut up
No one really cares
Oh, shut up
No one really cares
