Lyrics: Rats

The Smashing Pumpkins
Bullet With Butterfly Wings

...(verse:1)...
The world is a vampire, sent to drain,
secret destroyers hold you up to the flames and what
do I get for my pain? I trade desires and a piece of game...
Even though I know, I suppose I'll show all my cool
and cold lack of control...
...(chorus:)...
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage...
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage...
Someone will say what is lost can never be saved...
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage...
...(verse:2)...
Now we'll make it not been invited and I'm out
But can you fake it for just one more show?
And what do you want? I want to change
And what do you got? Now you feel the same...
Even though I know, I suppose I'll show all my cool
and cold lack of control...
...(chorus:)...
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage...
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage...
Someone will say what is lost can never be saved...
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage...
...(instrumental break)...

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was an only son yeah
Tell me I'm the Chosin One
Jesus was an only son FOR YOU!
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage...
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage...
Someone will say what is lost can never be saved...
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage...
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage...
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage...
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage...
Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was an only son FOR YOU!
And I still believe that I cannot be saved...
And I still believe that I cannot be saved...
And I still believe that I cannot be saved...
And I still believe that I cannot be saved...
...(fade to end)...
