The Rat Who Would Be King Lyrics

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 model 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
