Rats in the Infirmary

Out of the woodwork keeping
hidden where they hide
Par for the course the highest
horse on which they ride
The devil’s grin, illness is
in so claim your prize
Without the facts on track samaratism dies

I’ve got this chronic fever
you’ll cure me non-believers
Still ill and rehabilitated
By those sick enough to have created

Symbols of sanity decreasing year by year
Inflated vanity you learn to hold so dear
Opposite, synonymous, withholding every truth
I live to tell the tale for I am living proof

Rats
They’re living in the infirmary Rats
And they’ve been crawling all over me Rats
We feed them in the infirmary Rats
crawling all over me

We’re just part of the smallest fraction
Not worthy of any reaction
Without a clue you’re over medicated
By those sick enough to have created

I’m not a stranger to the
threat of every modern day
Never got the facts on track and
time will win this race
Each tragic accident there’s
a hero in its place
Your good intention for
attention is gaining praise

Rats
They’re living in the infirmary Rats
And they’ve been crawling all over me Rats
We feed them in the infirmary Rats
And they’ve been crawling all over me
