Overkill
King of the Rat Bastards
[Verse 1]
Wide open, down the burning road
We were strung-out, nailed, betrayed
All cylinders, a heavy load
And we were all we hoped and dreamed to be
Caught fire in the final turn
We danced the death ballet
Not thinking with a heavy heart
I hit the supercharger to infamy
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey there
Mrs. "California Sensibility"
Here's a message from the other side
And no apology
[Chorus]
Another day, another night
Another born and mastered
Another way, another king
Of the rat bastards
Another day, another night
I know that handshake laughter
Another way, another king
Of the rat bastards
Of the rat bastards
[Verse 2]
We turned it up, had the speed we need
We were bug-eyed, chin held high
As we all heard the self-applause
Backs turned away in case she dies
Down the stretch of that burning road
A tear in my eye
She held them off as our engine slowed
Was it much too late for infamy?
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey there
Mr. "Way-up-There-in-Washington, D.C."
Here's a message from the other side
And no apology
[Chorus]
Another day, another night
Another born and mastered
Another way, another king
Of the rat bastards
Another day, another night
I know that backstab laughter
Another way, another king
Of the rat bastards
Of the rat bastards
[Bridge]
We lead the deaf, the dumb
The blind, elite defined
We will soothe your ailing mind
We'll give you more
More than you can find
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
We got here is a fight to the death
No mediocrity
Three blind mice and a bastard rat
Versus Miss Liberty
[Chorus]
Another day, another night
Another born and mastered
Another way, another king
Of the rat bastards
Another day, another night
I know that backslap laughter
Another way, another king
Of the rat bastards
Of the rat bastards
[Outro]
Of the rat bastards
Of the rat bastards
