Song | Shed Reading (Rattus Norvegicus) |
Artist | Black Flag |
Album | Family Man |
作词 : Rollins | |
I am Rattus | |
Norvegicus. | |
I’m sitting in some shit-hole rat’s nest and | |
I’m a little angry. | |
I wanted to be a talk show host-not a rat. | |
You men think you have it bad with women? | |
I’ve got it a lot worse let me tell you. | |
What am I gonna say to some nice looking girl who | |
I want to meet? | |
I can tread water for over 36 hours? | |
I can chew through lead pipes and cinderblocks? | |
I can run on telephone wires?! | |
And what if | |
I do get the girl home? | |
Can’t fit her though the door-it’s too small. | |
Yeah I got a lot of girls. | |
How’d you like to have a tail that went through your body to drag around all the time?- | |
Not my idea of fun by a long shot! | |
And do you see the neighborhoods that | |
I’m forced to live in? | |
Those people live like pigs! | |
Can’t catch the subway-they haven’t built it yet. | |
Can’t catch the up-town bus | |
I can’t reach the step-up. | |
Hey taxi!And everyone, | |
Wants to kill me, | |
Feed me drugs and poison, | |
Put electrodes in my head and make me run on treadmills | |
Dissect, bisect, and defect me. | |
Biome, blind, mane and tame me. | |
Are you folks crazy?! | |
You never invite me to your parties as if | |
I would really wanna go anyhow. | |
Have you ever asked me to go to a movie? | |
How ‘bout bowling? | |
You ever seen a rat cry? | |
I got tears. | |
And I have a heart-and | |
I got brains. | |
If you could just see past the fur, | |
I think that you would see | |
That I’m a lot like you. |
