Here they come one by one. no need to run and hide. everone of them has rudeness as their best friend. using madness and fun as an alibi. and when they leave all the girls start to cry. dirty rats……dirty rats….. see them at the party gathered in a crowd. making sure that all their friends. are feeling irie now. don't try to fight them because you will not win. unity is amongst them and everybody knows. dirty rats…..dirty rats…. if you see a dirty rat don't be afraid. they will treat you like one of them. even if you ain't the same. showing no remorse for what they have done. you can be a dirty rat just by having fun.

I don't want to be me anymore. everyone's chosen to ignore me. it seems they all know what's in store. so i let the public program me. if they don't like what you say. they'll shut you off like a tv. and if you do something wrong or write an intelligent song. they'll throw it all away. everyone just imitates eachother. and they think it's something true. but, i know i'm just waiting. for the money i make off my cd. jimmy cracked corn. and i don't give a fuck. i'll just take my chances. i'll just press my luck. everyone is looking at you now, so just give in. you know you're running out of time, you can't win.

Everything goes swell, this is a happy town. i hear the church bells ringing louder. shopping malls are fun for me and everyone. the air is oh so clear. well, can you stand it. then everyone looks at me. they've never seen individuality. it must be mom & dad. they must be oh so sad. they burden everyone. with such a twisted son. imagine living there. a world based on a state. “an individual dies” is passed to a jock with a car that's fast. you're the problem!

Sitting at home in front of a tv. wasting his dreams he's only seventeen. like a child in a grown up world. tomorrow's monday and he has to go to work. all of his friends they stay out late. but wife is home he can't be late. another step into the middle age. he feels irate what a shame. sometimes i wonder how he got there. in the first place, sometimes i wonder. what he must be feeling now. sometimes i wonder. the party is over. he can't be what he wants to be. growing up before his time. his time is now. he wants to party but he has a wife & kid. i bet he wishes that he never did. wife & kid he's too young for a ball & chain. wife & kid he'll never be seventeen again.

All the other famers want a hair do just like me. they blame my mom who used to roadie for mdc. and when i go to the hooten-nanny. everyone wants to dance with me. they want to lick my boots and sit on my studs. peel them taters, you suck! peel them taters, you country phuck! they'll all be listening to hardcore. when they be milking them cows. and when the sun comes up they start to slam. here comes uncle jessie with a shit eating grin. i wonder what he's doing in the sheeps pen. your sister's your wife, you suck! your sister's your wife, you country phuck!

Say you're at a party and everyone's having fun. all your friends are skanking all except for one. there's no need to ask him why he's in denial. just wait for the jumping beat then…. dogpile!! there's no need for violence. against your fellow man. we must live together in this corrupted land. let's try something new just for a while. instead of pistol-packing let's all dogpile!!

Well, you told me not to tell them. because i'm not supposed to know. the minute people find the stories will never end. facts given to me can be used like a weapon. no matter how old you get the secrets never die. i don't care what she did twenty years ago. tell me if it soothes your conscience. normal people, leading normal lives. leave their secrets locked in a closet. they never die! what ever happened to honesty. people make believe that they're something. that they want to be. that's where the secrets begin and end. i guess there is no meaning to the word friend. too many secrets

You say i'm your best friend. well, you're not mine. always complaining about money all the time. why don't you grow up and listen to me. money can't buy everything. everytime we go out i have to pay. you might as well call me dad. none of the girls will go out with you. because you make them ride the bus. some people say you squeak when you walk. penny pinching all the time. everything to you is one big price. that you're gonna have to pay. you don't have the money. according to you. when it's time to pay your way. someday at home you'll be alone. with no job and no friends.

Hurry up, punch in. you'd better not be late. the bossman is near and he's coming your way. don't try to smile cause he'll turn it into hatred. making you work overtime really makes his day. oh, mr. bossman. please, mr. bossman. mr. bossman. don't ask him any questions. you'll never get the answer. pucker up and kiss his butt. you might get promoted faster. when the smell of stale coffee fills the air. then you know the bossman is on the prowl. heavy confrontation is his game. if you don't play it you might get a permanent vacation.

They said you were the freaky kid. when you were in school. and that you never really. had friends that were cool. the teachers they sent letters. to your mom & dad. they said you'd better teach him. to be like the other kids. but, wait until they get a load of me. i'll take them on a killing spree. i'm gonna take some jocks out with my gun. then they'll see what i call fun. because you were the outcast people stayed away. never said the right thing so they made you pay. now it's time for paybacks and sweet smell of revange. when i steal your girlfriend you'll wish you were my friend.
