lyrics

What do you do when you sniff a rat in our midst?
What do you do when you sniff a rat in our midst?
Bad Voodoo, take it down

Loving guns shooting now when they used to just smoke
Oh you better hear me rat, listen up, ain’t no joke
I am coming after you like a panther through the trees
Every breath out of you like a boa I’m gonna squeeze
‘Til it hurts, ‘til you’re blue, ‘til you’re falling on your knees
You won’t take my brother man just to eat your poison cheese

Scamper rodent if you want to keep your brains inside your skull
‘Cause while you’re lurking all about you know I won’t be standing still
Sniff you out by your stink, then I twist that knife to kill
You got me murdering you rat, exterminate your nest of evil

Oh what do you do when there’s a rat in our midst?
Gonna run it outta town, take a knife, make a twist?
Oh I know just what to do when there’s a rat in our midst
Gonna run it outta town, take a knife, make a twist
What is justice here for dealers of the devil’s piss?

I know that I despise your business
I can’t stand one more time to witness
This ratty plague from your dirty cave
Spreading poison that will never leave the hearts of addicts
To your crack junk it’s madness
I know you cut that shit with plastics
So rat behave ‘cause you’re in the way of helping my friends slow their decay
I just want them to be okay but with you around there’s no way

So little rat get going
Or your life will be pouring
Out of you onto the floor and what would you do if it were your hand
That stopped this cold evil in motion but had to cause some commotion
I wish you heard these words spoken by every throat you are choking
Get out rat!
You better scat!
Pussy cat behind your back!

Tell me, what do you do when there’s a rat in our midst?
Gonna run it outta town, take a knife, make a twist?
Oh what do you do when there’s a rat in our midst?
Gonna run it outta town, take a knife, make a twist
What is justice here for dealers of the devil’s piss?

Pay attention ‘cause I know where your nest is
Pay attention, I am poison like asbestos
Kill you fast, kill you slow, you are going down for sure
I am calling out your name and wiping it across the floor
‘Cause those fleas fall from your fur got me itching all around They’re biting all my friends while I watch them hit the ground
It is violent as ever even when shots make no sound
And you are gone forever when you’ve gone underground
Oh get out you reeking rat, there’s some pavement, better pound
Better move those dirty paws ‘cause you do not want to be found

What would you do?
Somebody help me
What would you do?
Oh, somebody help me
What would you do?
Oh, help me
Oh, help me
What do you do?
Help me
