The Rat Who Would Be King Lyrics - The Audio Of Being - Matthew Good Band

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while 

Once you're in, you're pretty much fucked 

When I was the rat 

The rat who would be king 

I imagined typhoid and us alone 

Always us alone 

And I've waited on the sidelines all this time 

And I've a grenade 

With our names scratched on the side 

But that's love and you know that love's 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 I've waited on the sidelines all this time 

And I've a grenade 

With our names scratched on the side 

But that's just love and you know that love's not enough
