Rat in a Trap Lyrics by The Living End

Wunderbar

2018

[Intro]
I think I smell a rat
I think I smell a rat
I think I smell a rat

[Verse 1]
I think I smell a rat, walking into a trap
You tripped up, took the bait
Heads up now it’s too late
Set me up in your sights
Took the shot, didn’t think twice
Everything went just as planned
I fell straight into your hands

[Pre-Chorus]
You leave me with nowhere to run
A shadow underneath the sun
The battle is almost over
But the war has just begun

[Chorus]
I’m just a rat in a trap
I’m never looking back
Just a rat in a trap
And I’m about to snap

[Verse 2]
Confused and corrupted
Are you the hunter or the hunted?
You did it for the thrill
Just for the kill
Now you think you got me
Exactly where you want me
But it all comes around again
Sour milk and sweet revenge

[Pre-Chorus]
You leave me with nowhere to run
A shadow underneath the sun
The battle is almost over
But the war has just begun

[Chorus]
I’m just a rat in a trap
I’m never looking back
Just a rat in a trap
And I’m about to snap
I’m just a rat in a trap
I’m never looking back
Just a rat in a trap
And I’m about to snap

[Outro]
I’m just a rat in a trap
I’m never looking back
Just a rat in a trap
And I’m about to snap
I’m just a rat in a trap
I’m never looking back
Just a rat in a trap
And I’m about to snap
