The Rat Who Would Be King

The Rat Who Would Be King
Even a blind squirrel
Finds a nut
Once in a while
Once you're in you're pretty much fucked
When I was the rat
The rat who would be king
I imagined typhoid
And us alone
Always us alone

And I've waited on the sidelines
All this time
All this time
And I've a grenade
With our names scratched on the side
But that's just love
And you know that love's not enough
No, no, love's not enough
Crawl from the sea
Wait for some thumbs
A greatness to breed
Build the mall of America
When I was the rat
The rat who would be king
I imagined ashes
And us alone
Always us alone
And I've waited on the sidelines
All this time
All this time
And I've a grenade
With our names scratched on the side
But that's just love
And you know that love's not enough
No, no, love's not enough
Love's not enough
Love's not enough
