wings in the gutter

I hear this song in the voice of someone like Danielle Ponder

the rats at the bottom

are so hateful (hateful),

the mice in the middle

are so blameful (blameful),

and of them snakes you gotta

be so careful (careful),

to rise above ‘em all

stay so faithful (faithful).

.

but watch out

as you rise

for their

envious

eyes

.

Oh, they will bite you, fight you,

Always try to fright you

.

you gotta close your eyes and not react

just be aware when you turn your back

.

Oh, they will bite you, fight you,

Always try to fright you

.

you gotta close your eyes and not react

just be aware when you turn your back

.

oh, it’s a hateful world

that we live in (live in),

those people don’t know

of forgiving (forgiving),

they say it’s the strongest

who survives,

but I wanna be the one

who thrives.

.

Oh, they will bite you, fight you,

Always try to fright you

.

you gotta close your eyes and not react

just be aware when you turn your back

(on their world)

.
