Tekst piosenki 'Rats In The Hallway' wykonawcy Rancid

Knock, knock come in if you want to fight
I'm gonna win
I'll take you out in a minute
Step in my flat see what's in it
I live in the land of the welfare state
My flat used to be section P
Now it's a rat infested cocaine run
My whole world plays like a broken drum
(Chorus)
Drunken bum
Rats in the hallway again
Set up get put go away & ride away
Sit up our bed up your bed to lay
Kick up our rip up this place apart
Even when I finish I'm back at the start
I'm out of line on Adeline St. heat
Don't keep this crooked beat
4 A.M. no waves breakin'
What's left of the P.M. the A.M. has taken
(Chorus)
Outside my gate my crew is drinking a 40 oz.
They asked me if there's still rats in the hallway
I said some things ain't like the weather
They never change for the better
This girl came up to me
She said she would do me no harm
Rolled up her sleave and showed me the tracks on her arm
I said, "What's your name?" she said "I'm Mya."
She said "Tim I wanna take you higher."
Junkie drunken bum
Rats in the hallway again
Zombie walking kid out on his own with no moral
Mr. High leave the body
In comes Mr. Withdrawal
Pain is the only thing the body will allow
The kid wants to dance
The gangster knows how
Johnny bought some shit down on Market St.
Shoot up boot up the human target
He hit the dirty spike when he hit the scene
It's easy to stay dirty when nothing is clean
Johnny's a writer who tags up jackal
Jackel just clamped on unclampable shackles
Rout up Shoot up some dope to go like legal currency
It's money it's like that rat tat tat
Kid got shot point blank in the back
My land lord said not to be bumming
He was a cocaine stoop and he had it coming
He was only 12 years old
He was in the blizzard
He got shot for being cold
It don't seem right
Tonight hit the lights alright
Watch the roaches run into the darkest room
(Chorus)
