Bad Moves: Let the Rats Inherit the Earth

 
"Let the Rats Inherit the Earth"
 
Here we are / Wherever
Nowhere / Decentered
And we're bored / Untethered
'Cause we don't care anymore / Too bent out
Throw the pretense overboard / To bother
Conscientize with the old guard / We're treading cold water
And I swear / We end up suspended
It's true / We meant it
We don't know what to do / We process
Let the hush wash over you / Under this
'Til you're drowning in it / You witness no one is

Undone by the high tide of evolution
Time unravels and devolves into repetition

And we're all / Deflated
Too scared / Unmated
To hope / Frustrated
'Cause we've got nothing to show / We protest
It's all purgatorial / I've done it
Revel in the great unknown / You witness no one is
 And that's fair / We end up suspended
Like, sure / We meant it
'Cause when your dream is deferred / You trudge on
And your pleas all go unheard / Like father
You sputter and just spin out / Still treading cold water

And stare up at the sky 'til your eyes glaze over
Your faith goes up in a blaze while the future burns

Goddamn, let the rats inherit the Earth
Once you've bottomed out, it's on to something worse
Who's keeping score anymore? 
(We are, we are, we are)
 
You can shout about it 'til your vision blurs
Or 'til you lose the feeling

Goddamn, let the rats inherit the Earth
Once you've bottomed out, it's on to something worse
Who's keeping score anymore? 
(We are, we are, we are)
 
And out there where the flies and the buzzards swarm
Would you say a prayer, would you know what for?
Who's even sure anymore?
(We are, we are, we are)
 
You can shout about it 'til your vision blurs
Or 'til you lose the feeling
 
Undone by the high tide of evolution / Too bent out to bother, we're treading cold water
Time unravels and devolves into repetition / We process under this, you witness no one is
Undone by the high tide of evolution / Too bent out to bother, we're treading cold water
Time unravels and devolves into repetition / We end up suspended, we meant it; we're treading
