Real Rat Bastard

(album: In Black And White - 2007)

You told me I'm a real rat bastard
I'm telling you I can't deny it's true
But step inside this real rat bastard
You be me and I'll be, I'll be you

Hey!
Hey!

You told me I'm a real rat bastard
I'm telling you I can't deny it's true
But step inside this real rat bastard
You be me and I'll be, I'll be you

Since you left me I've been lower than a basement
Since you left me I have lost my only friend
I spit upon the womb that made me
I'll curse the world until the bitter end

Hey!
Hey!

I'm proud to be a real rat bastard
I'm proud to wear my scar upon my sleeve
I'll probably be a real rat bastard
Until the day that death is my reprieve

So love me as I wallow downward
Smile upon me as I stroll the avenue
Walk beside me as I sing my praises
Maybe someday you will be a bastard too...

Hey!
Hey!

We're both the same except for you've got class and style
To get you back I'd walk at least a half a mile
We're both the same except for poise and charm and grace
I'd slap the pope just for the chance to see your face
See your face

Hey!
Hey!

La lala la lala la lala
La lala la lala la lalala
La lala la lala la lala
La lala la lala la lalala
La lala la lala la lala
La lala la lala la lalala
La lala la lala la lala
La lala la lala la lalala
