The Rat

Lyrics Corrections Source: deadconfederate.com

Shoot from the back Take good aim Make sure I'm dead Bang! Bang!

Cause I'm The Rat No mistake Under the bed Where you sleep

Crush the skull Make me tame Sweep it up Hide it away

No moral shown No explain Stupid human Shit for brains

Draw tiny pictures round all the dead leaves Bag and burn, Bang! Bang!

Float your judgements across the breeze Bag and burn, Bang! Bang!

Live inside your Jesus dream Bag and burn, Bang! Bang!

Get some sleep Lie in wait Until the day I burn away

Forget the cause Present the case Bring me down Lose your worth

I'll follow you To the grave At the gates I see the passing saved

The judge be judged The wretched be saved You throw a curse Across your name

Draw tiny pictures round all the dead leaves Float your judgments across the breeze Watch them float off to never be seen You live inside your Jesus dream

Lyric corrections:

"And draw tiny pictures 'round all the days" Should be: "And draw tiny pictures around the dead leaves"

"Get some sleep or lie in wait Until the day I run away" Should be: "Get some sleep or lie in wake Until the day I burn away"

"The judge be judged, and all the rich be saved." Should be: "The judge be judged, and all the wretched be saved."

"I throw my curse all across your days" Should be: "I throw my curse all across your name"

These guys have the potential to be huge someday I do believe...my favorite song of theirs. Favorite line has to be "Draw tiny pictures 'round all the dead leaves"...which doesn't match up with ^those lyrics...just really cool imagery of the chalk outlines of murder victims...in leaf form.

I love the whole feel of this song and speaking from the rats point of view is really cool. I think the the part that says "I see the passing say" should actually be "I see the passing Saints" and also "all the rich be saved" should be "all the rats should be saved"

"You live inside your Jesus dream" is the best line from this song by far. I think its about people and how we "throw all our judgments across the breeze" by killing the rats and sweeping up the dead leaves to bag and burn them. People pretend to believe in God, but they're killing the world to make it more convenient for them, which is the "Jesus dream" part. Its probably way off, but that's all I could make of it.

Way I see the song is that someone did something bad in their life and then used the Jesus crutch to say that they were saved despite doing it. Bag and burn to conceal your sins and judge others that aren't religious. The rat is the person that saw the person do what they did so they need to bury them so they don't tell anyone of what they've done. "Get some sleep or lie in wake" could be saying that the guilt of the person keeps them up at night. Then when they die the rat will throw the curse of what the other did to make sure he pays for what he has done.

I explained that really bad but hope you understood it

I just heard of these guys and they are excellent! Another horribly unknown but shockingly awesome song by these guys is "Get Out" which is shockingly not on their debut LP but was included upon their self-titled E.P. Awesome songs.

Stupid human Shit for brains beat line! i love this song! I love teh timing it's slow and deliberate.
