Rathouse (4.16)
McComb

as soon as I saw the body on the floor
I knew there'd be no way out
so I closed my eyes
and I locked the door
I didn't scream and I didn't shout
locked in a padded cell I was
under a laboratory
what's that funny smell? I said
starving rats and lavatories

you've got to admit
it takes a bit
to make us quit
you've got to admit

every day I put on my gloves
I put on my mask and coat
there's a lot of rats here in this room
they make me feel remote
they grate their teeth on the metal cages
they bitch and they complain
but when you're all alone in that room
it's just ratshit down the drain

you've got to admit
it takes a bit
to make us quit
you've got to admit
