Rat Trap

You’ve been living life like it’s rock and roll
You’ve been taking too much of what you can’t control
You’ve been dancing with the devil
In your midlife crisis baby
You’ve been pulling stutches from out of your face
You’ve been trying to keep up in a young man’s race
You’ve been drawing down while the interest rates go higher
Stealing contradictions from an unmarked grave
You’ve been robbing the bank just to pay your way
Life is such a drag when you’re caught in a rat trap
It’s a sign of the times
Let the punishment fit the crime
Don’t let silence be your only testimony

You checked yourself out of rehabilitation
Pressed the button marked self annihilation
All your friends are your enemies
Your enemies are your friends
You’ve been trying to bring about your self destruction
But you can’t do that you cannot function
You hate yourself and yourself really hates you
Stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks
Does not make you one of the dudes
Life is such a drag when you’re caught in a rat trap
It’s a sign of the times
Let the punishment fit the crime
Don’t let silence be your only testimony
