Rat Who Would Be King — Matthew Good Band

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while

Once youre in youre pretty much fucked

When I was the rat

The rat who would be king

I imagined typhoid and us alone

Always us alone

And Ive waited on the sidelines all this time

And Ive a grenade

With our names scratched on the side

But thats love

And you know that loves not enough

Crawl from the sea

Wait for some thumbs

A greatness to breed

Build the mall of america

When I was rat

The rat would be king

I imagined ashes and us alone

Always us alone

And Ive waited on the sidelines all this time

And Ive a grenade

With our names scratched on the side

But thats just love

And you know that loves not enough
