lyrics

Now the mad and the bad got their fingers on the buttons
When they push them suckers there won’t be nothin’
Outside the bunker but roaches and rats
But it’s all good, I’ve planned for that
I’ll drag my hairy ass down a cosy hole
I’m gonna be a rat on a roll

Rat, rat, rat on a roll uh huh huh…
Well I ain’t no lemming and I ain’t no vole
I’m just a rat on a roll

We got this whole mall to ourselves
‘Cept for a crispy Santa and some deep-fried elves
The Half-life Deli’s open 24/7
It’s a looters’ paradise, rodent heaven
Well praise de lawdy for abundant cheeses
Let’s shake some rat ass for the baby jeezus

Rat, rat, rat on a roll uh huh huh…
I ain’t no badger and I ain’t no mole
I’m just a rat on a roll

Just one Trumpocalyptic thing I’m missin’
Got no rat lurve, no whisker-kissin’
Tried to put my armagged-on a slinky rat
But she weren’t havin’ none of that
Told me to take a post-nuclear stroll
And stick my head up my own mousehole, but…

I just wanna Rat n Roll all nite n mutate every day…
Rat, rat, rat on a roll uh huh huh…
Well I ain’t no lemming and I ain’t no vole
I’m just a rat on a roll
