Overgrow the Lovernment (Everybody Wants to be a Rat.)

Let’s go down, down

Where the Rats crawl around,

in the forgotten tunnels and dusty places

Let’s go down, down underground

to the lonely concrete holes and rusty spaces

Let’s squeeze in-between

The infrastructure’s cracks,

gnaw at wires with our Teeth

and always watch our backs.

Let’s slide away into the pipes

and I’ll show you a world

you’ve never seen.

Let your hair grow long

and join the pack

of sinister secrecy.

Dark passages and corridors,

with candles to show us the way

Through this light-less world of marauders and mischief

where we don’t know the touch of day.

Off their fear and conformity

We the Few grow putrid and fat;

what they’re really afraid of

is themselves, Because

Everybody Wants

to be a Rat.
