There’s Nothing Better
Welcome to the evening’s bad news
I’m your host The Rat
and this is the bad news
A plane full of puppies has crashed
And a train full of children has burned
But first this
There’s nothing better than bad news
Nothing gets them to click faster
Nothing better than when the heroes lose
Always hoping for a bigger disaster
There’s nothing better than bad news
On the front page we will plaster
We don’t have to, it’s what we choose
It pays to be the doom forecaster
The biggest names will always fall
Get their picture for the cover
They might need a little nudge
Always something to uncover
When they hit the pavement
Make sure you film the splatter
Always be the first to publish
Always find their hidden lover
There’s nothing better than bad news
Nothing sells the adverts faster
Nothing better than when the girls friends bruised
In the news room you can hear the laughter
There’s nothing better than bad news
On the front page we will plaster
We don’t have to, it’s what we choose
It pays to be the doom forecaster
Today a rocket attack struck a refugee hospital
Killing hundreds fleeing the front-line battle field
Most of the dead were women and children
Along with most of the doctors and nurses
There’s nothing better
Than a crying widow
There’s nothing better
Than local plane crash
There’s nothing better
Than a bunch of orphans
Nothing better
Than the respect of your colleges
There’s nothing better
Than an interstate pile up
There’s nothing better
Than high speed chase
There’s nothing better
Than a hostage situation
Unless there are bodies
Thrown all over the place
There’s nothing better
Than beating your rival
There’s nothing better
Than to sell more ad’s
There’s nothing better
Than a jump in the ratings
This is the best week we’ve ever had
There’s nothing better
Than an assassination
There’s nothing better
Than when a rocket explodes
There’s nothing better
Than an army deployment
Unless it’s when a sky scraper implodes
A fire in a high-rise office building
Burned to death Hundreds of volunteers
Working at the suicide prevention hotline center
Also, suicide is on the rise
There’s nothing better
Than a falling politician
Nothing better
Than to see them splat
There’s nothing better
Than a natural disaster
Hey, it’s just a matter of fact
There’s nothing better
Than to be the Broadcaster
You get to deliver
All the bad news
To be the doom forecaster
To meet the victims for the interviews
There’s nothing better than bad news
Nothing gets them to click faster
Nothing better than when the heroes lose
Always hoping for a bigger disaster
There’s nothing better than bad news
On the front page we will plaster
We don’t have to, it’s what we choose
It pays to be the doom forecaster
Without a tear, without a care
Into the lens you will stare
The world is waiting for the body count
And you will never let them down
There’s nothing better than bad news
Out of your pores it all will ooze
Until they catch you on a hot mic
And when you’re the news the ratings will spike
Thank you for tuning in
This was the bad news
And I am The Rat

Weaponized

Weaponized
My mind has been weaponized
To only see the misery
All my thoughts desensitized
Making you my enemy
Emotions are anesthetized
To argue for the ones who hate
The profits are all emphasized
Preemptive strike, do not wait
Neighbors, friends and family
Have all become my enemy
Everything is blasphemy
I’m losing all my clarity
Emotions, I no longer feel
Electronics are all here to steal
I struggle every day and night
To see which one is wrong or right
My mind has been weaponized
Triggered by remote control
No chance to be reconciled
Controlled by those without a soul
An enemy identified
Find you while they’re on patrol
The crime is unspecified
But your gonna pay the toll
Neighbors, friends and family
Have all become my enemy
Everything is blasphemy
I’m losing all my clarity
Emotions, I no longer feel
Electronics are all here to steal
I struggle every day and night
To see which one is wrong or right
You don’t have to do
What they tell you to
You are free to think
What ever is on, your, mind
We all can be friends
This is not the end
Regardless of what they say
We can all do it any way
You don’t have to hate
It’s not all to late
We’re not on the brink
You’ve just got to open up your mind
It’s not, us or them
We can, all be friends
Who cares what they think?
We can do it for all man kind
My mind has been weaponized
As if I am expendable
My anger is intensified
All of it intentional
Hatred now is organized
Becoming three-dimensional
My thoughts unrecognizable
None of it consensual
Neighbors, friends and family
Have all become my enemy
Everything is blasphemy
I’m losing all my clarity
Emotions, I no longer feel
Electronics are all here to steal
I struggle every day and night
To see which one is wrong or right
My mind has been weaponized
Conditioning it starts at birth
Vocabulary emphasized
Always guaranteed to hurt
Actions are all mechanized
Convinced that we all have no worth
Everyone is centralized
On prison planet earth
You don’t have to do
What they tell you to
You are free to think
Whatever is on, your, mind
We all can be friends
This is not the end
Regardless of what they say
We can all do it any way

Candy Crush stealing all your dreams
Elaborate
In the scheme
Compromised
You've been lobotomized

Facebook lobotomy
Gotta post while you poop and pee
On the bus
On the street
Digital formaldehyde
Everyone lobotomized
Facebook lobotomy

Collection cookies
Focused ad’s
Everyone preoccupied
Everyone lobotomized
Got to share a picture
Got to make a post
Got your show your boobies
Those get shared the most
Have to charge your battery
Have to find a plug
Have to view your feed
It’s your only drug
Facebook lobotomy
Your life for the whole world to see
disenfranchisement
Holds the keys
Fossilized
You've been lobotomized
Facebook lobotomy
A thousand friends you’ll never meet

Facebook lobotomy
Better than your friends and family
Political argument’s
Never cease
Personified
You've been lobotomized
Always on vacation
As far as they all know
First you’re at the beach
Then you’re at the snow
The grass is always greener
At least that’s what you tell
But if they really knew you
They’d know that you’re in hell

Then You Get Punched
Vodka in the morning
Vodka at lunch
Vodka for dinner
Then you get punched
With beer I see clear
With beer I feel fine
If I don’t have one in my hand
I'll fucking lose my mind
Whiskey in the evening
Whiskey at brunch
Whiskey for breakfast
Then you get punched
Tequila will kill you
It's not just a rhythm
I dance till I puke
Almost every time
Scotch is for breakfast
Scotch is for lunch
Scotch is for dinner
Then you get punched
When I begin
I start off with gin
Pour me a double
Then pour me again
Bourbon is perfect
My car got crunched
Don’t call me addicted
That’s how you get punched
I don’t have a problem
It’s all in your mind
I’m happy and I’m laughing
I’m smiling and I’m Joking
When I get to the bottom
I lose track of time
I’m swinging and I’m shouting
I’m scowling and I’m frowning
I don’t know
what you’re talking about
I’m singing and I’m dancing
I’m sharing and I’m caring
I’m the life
Of the party now
I’m thrashing and I’m smashing
I’m yelling and I’m screaming
Bloody Mary’s for breakfast
Martini’s for lunch
Margarita’s for dinner
Then you get punched
With beer I see clear
With beer I feel fine
If I don’t have one in my hand
I'll fucking lose my mind
Tap the keg in the evening
It’s empty at dawn
Work my through the bar
Until it’s all gone
No mixers for me
I like my drink neat
It’s clear in my mind
Even Though I can’t speak
Moonshine makes me thirsty
Moonshine makes me hot
If I find my gun
You’re gonna get shot
I don’t have a problem
It’s all in your mind
I’m happy and I’m laughing
I’m Smiling and I’m Joking
When I get to the bottom
I lose track of time
I’m swinging and I’m shouting
I’m scowling and I’m frowning
I don’t know
what you’re talking about
I’m singing and I’m dancing
I’m sharing and I’m caring
I’m the life
Of the party now
I’m thrashing and I’m smashing
I’m yelling and I’m screaming
Hey bartender, one more over here please
Your cut off
What do you mean cut off?
Bullshit man, give me a fucking drink
I said your cut off
Fuck you man, give me a fucking drink you mother fucker
Get him out of here

I’m in here every god damned day
Mother fucking piece of shit

Get him out of here
No way

I will smash some fucking heads
I came in here to have some fun
And party with everyone

You pushing me to the fucking brink
I demand you give me one
Why won’t you let me have some fun
I’m tear this place apart
I with eat your fucking heart
I demand you give me a fucking drink
Before I knock out your fuckin’ teeth

Break Out

Break Out
There’s no real reason
To sit around and die
We’ve got to make a run for it
While were still alive
There’s still so much to see
Another place to go
Time to leave the cell
And forget the lies they sow
Pick up your corps and run
Leave it all behind
You’re not the only one
Who needs some peace of mind
In general population
Wander in the yard
Ignore the aggravation
No need to try so hard
You’ve seen is all unravel
The horror of it all
Break from of all the shackles
Time to scale the wall
Once you’re on the run
You’re never going back
It’s time to have some fun
It’s the one thing that we lacked
Pick up your corps and run
Leave it all behind
You’re not the only one
Who needs some peace of mind
In general population
Wander in the yard
Ignore the aggravation
No need to try so hard
It’s a break out, break out
Now we’re on the run
Break out, break out
Time to have some fun
It’s a break out, break out
We’re never going back
Now that we’ve tasted freedom
It’s like the garden of Eden
It’s a break out, break out
It’s good to feel the sun
Break out, break out
We’re escaping one by one
It’s a break out, break out
And we’ve already won
We’ve scaled the prison wall
We’ve got nowhere to fall
There’s no real reason
To sit around and die
We’ve got to make a run for it
While were still alive
There’s still so much to see
Another place to go
Time to leave the cell
And forget the lies they sow
Pick up your corps and run
Leave it all behind
You’re not the only one
Who needs some peace of mind
In general population
Wander in the yard
Ignore the aggravation
No need to try so hard
You’ve seen it all unravel
The horror of it all
Break from of all the shackles
Time to scale the wall
Once you’re on the run
You’re never going back
It’s time to have some fun
It’s the one thing that we lacked
Pick up your corps and run
Leave it all behind
You’re not the only one
Who needs some peace of mind
In general population
Wander in the yard
Ignore the aggravation
No need to try so hard
It’s a break out, break out
Now we’re on the run
Break out, break out
Time to have some fun
It’s a break out, break out
We’re never going back
Now that we’ve tasted freedom
It’s like the garden of Eden
It’s a break out, break out
It’s good to feel the sun
Break out, break out
We’re escaping one by one
It’s a break out, break out
And we’ve already won
We’ve scaled the prison wall
We’ve got nowhere to fall

Where are the hero’s?
Where are the hero’s
that will save our lives?
To do the right thing
and turn down bribes
To see the future
and help us all survive
To help us all prepare
For when it all arrives
Where are the hero’s?
Where are they now?
Where are the hero’s?
They’ve left us somehow
Take and take and place the blame
Change the rules and cheat the game
Just a snake all out for gain
Leave us on the ball and chain
Break, forsake an endless rape
All the world is yours to take
Rip and tear, while your there
Strip it bare, smile and glare
Blame the stars and athletes
Everyone that’s on the streets
Blame the red, blame the blue
Everyone except for you
Behind the doors, making deals
Everyone is out to steal
Deals that make you rich as fuck
All of us are out of luck
Pollute the planet, place your bet
Load the cannon at the threat
The population target set
Confrontation has been met
Fire when you feel it’s right
Entire neighborhoods alight
Rain the bullets from the sky
Everyone is left to die
Submission is the only goal
Ignition by remote control
Attrition grinding down your soul
Suspicion always on patrol
Munitions always on display
Conditions limiting the way
Ambitions leave us in dismay
Violence the only way
Where are the hero’s
that will save our lives?
To do the right thing
and turn down bribes
To see the future
and help us all survive
Where are the hero’s?
Where are they now?
Where are the hero’s?
Where are they now?
Where are the hero’s?
Where are they now?
Where are the hero’s?
Where are the hero’s?

Lock 'em In

Lock’em In
Keep the rich in west palm beach
Keep the rich in the Hamptons
Wall the mother fuckers off
From the rest of the nation
Keep them high on the top floor
Keep them aloft in their jet
Leave them adrift on the ocean
Not ready to rescue them yet
Wall off Beverly Hills
Wall off fifth Avenue
Wall off all of wall street
Wall off the White House
Wall off Silicon Valley
Wall off the Pentagon
Wall off the police department
Before they wall off my rights
Keep the rich in Hong Kong
Keep the rich in New York
Keep the rich in their Penthouse
Keep the rich in the jail house
Keep the rich in London
Keep the rich in Moscow
Get the rich off the street
Keep the rich on lockdown
Wall off Newport Beach
Wall off Hollywood
Wall off Malibu
Wall off Brentwood
It's time to wall them off
Its time to lock them in
It's time to charge them all
With a special taxation
They’re not gonna walk free
Not on my street
They better stay in their limousine
Or take a bath in kerosene
Fuck your frivolous life
Fuck your junky kids
Fuck and your cheating wife
Fuck you and your whole damn life
Wall off Walmart
Wall off Google
Wall off Nike
Wall off Apple
Wall off McDonalds
Wall off Subway
Wall off Chevron
Wall off Exxon
Lock in the Kardashian’s
Encased in concrete
Let them tweet from under the street
While I drive right over them
Pop stars and product placements
Behind bars and locked in basements
Fuck the rich for of being rich
Fuck the famous for being famous
Frivolous lives that have no worth
Endless greed and rich since birth
Lock in the corporation
Lock in the lobbyists
Lock in the board of directors
Corporate business dictators
Lock them in
Lock them in
Lock them in
Lock them in
Lock them in

Whatever the market will bear
What is the meaning of our lives?
Why are we here?
Since the dawn of time
The question through the years
Profits
We’re here for profits
Separate them from their wealth
Move the products off the shelf
Profits
We’re here for profits
The only meaning of all life
We have got to get their money
At any cost
Even if it all gets bloody
And lives are lost
Transfer in the dead of night
They’ve all been squashed
We’ll do it out of sight
Keep them brainwashed
What will save our lives?
From the puppeteers
A trash pile we climb
Of novelties and souvenirs
Pockets
They fill their pockets
Regardless of anybody’s health
They Keep it all for themselves
Profits
We’re here for profits
The only meaning of all life
We have got to get their money
At any cost
Even if it all gets bloody
And lives are lost
Transfer in the dead of night
They’ve all been squashed
We’ll do it out of sight
Keep them brainwashed
Whatever the market is willing bear
This is going to be our share
Bombard them with advertising campaigns
Exploit the weaknesses within their brains
We’re going to take whatever we can
Clawing and scratching whatever they’ll stand
Wellbeing and health don’t mean a thing
To maximize the profits the only song that we sing
Millions and billions and trillions we take
Civilians opinions don’t mean a thing
Building these prisons so we can retreat
Constructing a system that only repeats
The onslaught continues day after day
Trading the hours, they send us their pay
Working for products they then throw away
Losing their life’s in an endless ballet
Now over to chuck for the mornings traffic update.
How’s the commute looking today?
It's not good at all, we've got traffic backed up for
miles. I feel bad for these suckers
