Lyrics
Rat vs Mole
who will win?
he’s coming for you
it’s really happening
Rat vs Mole
watch your back
before you know it
surprise attack
Rat vs mole
lay your traps
and snap
You’ll lie if they ask you
are you a cop?
he’s coming for you and he ain’t gonna stop
They’ve got their man
On the inside
can’t flush him out because he knows how to hide
He’s coming for you
He’s coming for you
what can you do?
Rat vs Mole
you decide
but be careful and don’t trust their lies
You’re out of control
and out of time
cos in the end everyone dies
Don’t tell a soul
don’t call me lazy
I steal my song ideas from Martin Scorsese
Running in a circle
you can’t define
are you in front or are you behind?
You’re on his tail
and he’s on yours
you’ll use your smarts he’ll use his teeth and his claws
He’s coming for you
He’s coming for you
what can you do?
Positive punishment and as means of encouragement
never really worked on me
back me in a corner and I better warn you
this rat has teeth
And you’ll find out soon enough
that as long as I’m breathing I will be seeking
the proof that I need
Rat vs mole
lay your traps
and snap
