Straight to Rat City
I hit rock bottom the day I was born
doctor said, "You'll never get out,
you should be forewarned"
but ever since then I've been trying to turn around
to make sure I don't die in that town
it's no city of angels
no city of saints
it's a place for the desperate the damned
and depraved
but I have never been ashamed
it's the place where I was raised
Chorus:
don't send us your exterminator
don't send us your pest control
don't send us your exterminator
just send some cheap alcohol
to Rat City
two pitbulls fighting in the bad part of town
an old woman ran out in a tattered night gown
started shooting a gun up in the air
everyone stood around waiting for the bullets to come back down
When my grandma grew up here
it was a farming town
now she's worried about
getting gunned down
She says six bums live in the Chevron station
but they're just scary regulars
Say, "I'm just a normal person"
Everyone knows that store
sells to minors
so when I was fifteen years old
I grew out my sideburns
Chorus
Shopping carts and cars
dumped in old Hick's Lake
Won't someone drain the damn thing
for God's sake
They burn the bodies
across the street from the Taco Bell
So you can sit there and wonder
if you are in hell
We play with our cats
and we like to get high
we do whatever we can
to just barely get by
We like the drink forties
and smoke dirt weed
we live in low income housing
on dead end dirty streets
We like deep bass
wee need to feel the beat
but we hate to lose face
we don't want to feel defeat
Chorus
