Lyrics
When I was a young one
Never knew my name
Roamed around the streets
You don't know the pain
That I've been through
Never knew where I came from
I've sealed the deal now its done
People like to think I'm insane
I'm sick in the fuckin' brain
And I guess that's why
The people call me Ratt
Can't escape the past
Tried and tried to runaway
Just can't escape
When I was a young one
I wore a smiling mask I
Roamed the burning city
Sifting through the ash
To find my way
Never knew my father
They say he drowned in the water
People like to think I'm crazy
But I've never been known as lazy
I live in a hell of a town
And I guess that's why
The people call me Ratt
Can't escape the past
Tried and tried to runaway
Just can't escape
Can't escape the past
Tried and tried to runaway
Just can't escape
Can't escape the past
Tried and tried to runaway
Just can't escape...
