作曲 : Grant-Lee Phillips All these rats are swimmin' for the land They ain't goin' down with the captain Same old rats that took a bite outa' me Darling way back when the word was mutiny Nothin' but a raft to carry me and my girl They just wrote us off Till we turned up blazing torches on their docks One night we're gonna' burn 'em down And the same goes for those who underestimate Said the love of my life was just another blind date You know I hardly had a single word edgewise Before the true believers started to drop like flies But I don't see 'em out parading arm in arm I see 'em dodging cars in harm's way You think with so many words of wisdom they could fill up a library But one night I'd have to burn it down One night I'd have to burn it down I can think of at least fourteen ways to disappear No I don't need to be told when it's plain as day I'm in the minority here But why must all the horrible people have all the cheer Blue green grass is standing somewhere still I know it is even if it's over landfill I got to think that there's still a tiny patch To raise some hens and watch those chickens hatch Browsing through the almanac I watch the stars That plummet now and then And I'm waiting for a flamin' shoe to drop on us again One night gonna burn it down One night we're gonna burn it down
