Quiet as a Rat - Amigo the Devil

There was a kid who came home

Red from panic and fear

Some kids at this school had beaten him way past tears

His mom cried, «Jesus christ!»

As she cleaned the blood pouring out of his ears

But it was obvious that, quiet as a rat

God was nowhere near

There was a girl at the bar

She overdosed in a photo booth

Nobody found her body, until last call

Then the pictures all showed her, terrified and a loner

While evryone cried, «what a good friend sh was!»

(Pre-Chorus)

And everyone treats commandments like more of a bucket list

So I’ve been asking why, I was born against

Time doesn’t respect what doesn’t respect it

Kind isn’t a word I’d use for man

If everyone’s made in his image

And he couldn’t perfect it

What the hell makes anyone think we can

We had the faith of a dog

And the death of a sinner

And a chain tied from his neck to 'round a tree

He taped a hospital bill to the dashboard

Kissed a ring on his finger

And drove himself to eternity

And I’ve been trying to hide

I was born against

And I wonder if I’ll die

Born against
