Room For Rent - Seth Sentry

Yeah, Now welcome to the mansion

Where the rats are rampant

Cracks in the plasters

The carpet hasn’t been vacuumed here

For at least the last ten years

The idea’s so hard to imagine

The mansion, dark and it’s stagnant

Part of the charm, yeah the garbage is stacked up

Smells like a land fill, ants in the trash bin

Excuse the mess but it’s cleaner than it has been

Where no one ever has rent

Where no one ever has no food so they snatch it

Buy a loaf of bread and try to go to bed

And wake up to some crumbs and tantrum

Yeah, that’s the mansion

That’s the rat’s nest where I hang my hat yes

That’s the address where the bills are sent and ignored

It could all be yours

I got a room for rent

I’m about to kill somebody

I’m about to lose my head

Can’t find my socks and the room’s a mess

It’s all good, when you thinking about moving in?

(Who the fuck drank my milk)

Last week we had a break in again

They came in and went

It’s crazy though cause they didn’t take anything

They must have felt bad for the way that we live

'Cause they left twenty bucks sticky taped to the fridge

I guess there’s really nothing to steal

When half the furniture here has been built out of milk crates

Nothing works and the place is a real state

We ain’t Bill Gates

That’s why the bill’s late

That’s why the real estate hates us

We get dirty looks from our neighbours

We get noise complaints from our neighbours

We get internet from our neighbours

Pull a crate up and make with the payment

Yeah it’s part of the contract

That you ain’t getting none of your bond back

But you can move in whenever suits you best

I got a room for rent

I’m about to kill somebody

I’m about to lose my head

Can’t find my socks and the room’s a mess

Okay look, let me give you some ground rules

To help you to deal with a house full of scoundrels

You gotta learn how to lie

Learn how to steal food and cover it up to survive

Remember, if there’s no name then you eat it

But if it’s got a name on then eat it, but keep it a secret

You gotta think like a genius

It’s easier to throw away than clean it

The shower works well though it smells gross

You ought to not get the water in your mouth though

And always try to keep your soap and your towel safe

Unless you wanna get close to your housemates

Bin night is on Monday, or maybe Sunday

We just chuck it by the front gate

And always try to pay rent a month late

It’s tradition

Quick, I got a room for rent

Be careful with your housemates

Before you try to fill a square hole with a round shape

On the one hand there’s low rent

On the other you’ll wonder where most of your clothes went

It’s simple, the house is a fish bowl

The wow factor, wow what a shit hole

The mansion, I just came to say goodbye

'Cause the room for rent was mine

I’m about to kill somebody

I’m about to lose my head

Can’t find my socks and the room’s a mess
