I’m a rat in a trap
And I’m happy about that
Because everyone believes that I was caught

Now they feel so good about themselves ’cause they liked to watch me suffer
Until they found it in their hearts to help me out

So I thanked them and apologized for all my bad behavior
I blamed it on my addiction to cheese

Now everybody likes me and thinks I’m rehabilitated
And I finally get to do what the fuck I please

I’m a rat and I don’t wanna hear your sermon, I’m a vermin
And I’m always gonna gnaw on things I know will aggravate you
I’m a rat acting like a good doer till I go back to my sewer
And ingest my chosen poisons

I’m a rat (ah), I’m a rat (ah)
I’m a rat (ah), I’m a rat
And I put myself in that trap

‘Cause I’m a rat who won’t race your human races
I don’t want the pole position, I won’t live a competition

I’m a rat who figured out how to win without anybody losing
Or at least not ever knowin’
They were beaten
‘Cause I’m a rat

I’m a rat
I’m a rat
I’m a rat
I’m a rat

And I put myself in that trap
And I’m happy about that
