lyrics

I was born a rat
with dirt neath my nails
I've got a shriveled little dick
and I'm opportunistic
and I feed my toxic shit to kids

....and my men… they hate me
and my air conditioned room

'cos I am the boss man… yeah yeah

now my wife she hates me
and I don't blame her so
she had to leave the man she loved
for some privileged schmuck
that her folks would approve of…

...and I impose my will
I'm ever so cruel but I try to be subtle

'cos I am her bossman... oh yeah

now my daughter looks like the milkman
and she hates me as well
she says I smell like the industrial revolution
and her teacher says I'm going straight to hell
but I really don't mind
rats don't have no need for pride

cos I am the boss man …yeah yeah ...
