Josephrre — Rat — lyrics
{Intro}
I come from terrorists and anarchists
And pricks who think they’re God
We lack apologies, ideologies
But let’s not get philosophical
Excercising leverage and sentimental goods
I fought through everything, more than I thought I could
{Verse 1}
You were the essence of our nation
You were true blue, you were cracked
Goddamn, I learnt to love my discs
The same way you had loved our flag
You were my brother, and I strived
To be just half as great as you
And the real tragedy is you didn’t see it through
‘Cos you became obscene
So defeatist
Such a killjoy
So perturbed
And this bullshit gone-rogue dogma
It won’t dictate what I’m worth
I rode shotgun on your plans
Didn’t know it was getaway van
Your proposal nearly broke my fucking brain
Enjoy your getaway forever on that train
{Chorus}
I loved you
I loved you
I loved you it’s true
I wanted to be you
And do what you do
I lived here
I loved here
I looked up to you
I feel so stupid
And so used
I feel so used
{Verse 2}
I was your chess piece
Your pigeon
Yet you took me under your wing
Except you blocked out the sun
And kept me warm by gaslighting
Now no one’s sending their prayers
To you, ain’t that bizzare?
If you could only be the god you say you are
You surrendered your respect
When you surrendered all you loved
You had hung yourself with the very
Strings that you loved to tug
So I’m not interested in converting to
One more yes-man for you to monopolize
To gain the upper hand
‘Cos you’re so fucking weird
You’re so elitist
You’re probably ugly, you’re real sick
This god-complex pseudo-dogma
Makes you nothing but a prick
You took my discs, you took my canon lives
And what did you gain?
How does it feel to lose after cheating your own game?
Oh, you’re so traumatized it makes me wanna cry
{Chorus}
You dumb bitch
I loved you
I loved you
I loved you it’s true
I wanted to be you
And do what you do
I lived here
I loved here
I looked up to you
I’m so embarrassed
I feel abused
{Verse 3}
“Well, you can keep my goddamn discs
If my best friend’s at the expense.”
Can you believe that I once thought that
Just to be left on the fence?
If you think that you’re unfunny
Just think of all the things you’ll do
For a country that you failed since you’d debuted
We were the daydreamers, the grounds for hope, the coming of age cliches
So, of course, they chose to twist our arms and throw it all away
You lost your catchlight, you forfeit
Sold the pass and then you quit
Canonically, I deem you a dick
So fuck your husband fuck your child
Fuck your nukes, man, fuck your bumblebees
You promised you’d be better
But you’re just Schlatt’s puny protégé
At least Schlatt could orchestrate
All you ever did was march
I can’t believe you tore what we had apart
Your presidency, this country it
Could’ve had a brand new start
{Chorus}
And the worst part is
I loved you
I loved you
I loved you it’s true
And sometimes I feel like
I still fucking do
I lived here
I loved here
I looked up to you
I’m so embarrassed
I feel abused
{Outro}
I feel so used
I feel so used
I don’t wanna be you
So yeah, fuck you
So yeah, fuck you. (Ha)
