The Rat Brain

Verse 1
Meet the boy with the rat brain
He's OK but his Mom's insane
She talks to his brother
Long dead and gone away

Chorus
Do you listen to the voices
Only stilled by chemistry?
Do you sit in a darkened room
Clean your guns and watch the TV?
Well, far be it from me.

Verse 3
Got a dog, it's a three-leg
Can't fetch but he sure can beg
Dog chews on a soup bone
Cracked open like a chicken egg

Chorus
Do you listen to the voices
Only stilled by chemistry?
Do you sit in a darkened room
Clean your guns and watch the TV?

Bridge
Do you wash until you're bloody?
Do you long for the day
Do you remember when the people
Knew what it’s like to be free
Really, truly, free

Verse 4
Meet the boy with the rat brain
Got a different sense of humor
Don't ask what's so funny
You won't like the answer

Chorus
Do you listen to the voices
Only stilled by chemistry?
Do you sit in a darkened room
Clean your guns and watch the TV?
Well, far be it from me.
