[Verse 1]
The system we live in splits the world we know
Into kings in a castle and some rats on the floor
One part has everything and even asks for more
The otherâs in the gutter got to less too live on
[Chorus]
I donât wanna be afraid
Throw myself into the sea
And hope youâll forget me
Got nothing left to lose
[Verse 2]
But if youâd ask me
Where I would chose to be
I would not choose the castle
Iâd still chose the streets
If you donât own a thing
You canât lose anything
I would rather be a rat than a king
[Chorus]
I donât wanna be afraid
Throw myself into the sea
And hope youâll forget me
Got nothing left to lose
I donât wanna be afraid
Throw myself into the sea
And hope youâll forget me
Got nothing left to lose
Iâd rather be a rat than a king if I could choose
[Verse 3]
The system we live in splits the world we know
Into kings in a castle and some rats on the floor
The crown and the throne, the greed for more
A withdrawing shutter, the oath that you swore
[Chorus]
I donât wanna be afraid
Throw myself into the sea
And hope youâll forget me
Got nothing left to lose
I donât wanna be afraid
Throw myself into the sea
And hope youâll forget me
Got nothing left to lose
Iâd rather be a rat than a king if I could choose
[Bridge]
To live, to survive
Too less to feel pride
Theyâre angry you made it
Who cares if you die
Is any of it justified
To live, to survive
Too less to feel pride
Theyâre angry you made it
Who cares if you lose
Iâd rather be a rat than a king if I could choose
