RANCID LYRICS - Rats In The Hallway

"Rats In The Hallway"



knock knock

come in

you wanna fight

i'm gonna win

i'll take you out

in a minute

step in my flat

see what's in it



i live in the land of wellfare state

my flat used to be section 8

now it's a rat infested cocaine run

my whole worls plays like a broken drum



drunken bum

yeah yeah yeah

rats in the hallway again



get up get out go ahead and ride away

sit up our bed up your bed to lay

kick up our rip up this place apart

even when i'm finished i'm back at the start i'm out of line

at adeline st. heat don't keep the crooked beat 4am

no waves breaking what's left of the pm the am has taken



drunken bum

yeah yeah yeah

rats in the hallway again



outside my gate my crew is drinking a 40

oz the asked my if there's still rats in the hallway

i said somethings ain't like the weather

they never change for the better

this girl came up to me she said she would do me no harm

rolled up her sleeve and shoved me the tracks on her arm

i said what's your name she said Mya

she said Tim, wanna take you higher



junkie drunken

yeah yeah yeah

rats in the hallway again



zombie walking kid out on his own with no morals

mr. high leaves the body in comes mr withdrawl

pain is the only thing the body will alow

the kid wants to dance the gangsters knows how



johnny bought some shit down on market

street shoot up boot up the human target

he hit the dirty spike when he hit the scene

it's easy to stay dirty when nothing is clean johnny's a writer



who tags up jackel jackel just clamped on unclampable shackels

rout up shoot up some dope to go

like leagal currancy it's money it's like that

rat tat tat kid got shot point blank in the back my land lord said

not to be bumming he was on cocaine stoop and he had it coming he had it coming?

he was only 12 years old he was in the blizzard he got shot for being cold

it don't seem right tonight hit the lights alright

watch the roaches run into the darkest room



[repeat 2x.]

drunken bum

yeah yeah yeah

rats in the hallway again
