Here at home in this steeple
|
Made of chrome, above a city of steel,
|
I’ve chosen bats over people
|
‘Cause I never did like the way humans made me feel.
|
|
So we sleep all day and we rise at night
|
And we spread our wings and take into the skies.
|
And when the people look up and stare
|
And say, “Why you gotta be like that?”
|
I just look them in the eye and tell them
|
I was raised by bats!
|
|
When I was young, I was feeble
|
And it stung when they pushed me down.
|
I was so hated by these people,
|
That I knew I had to do what I could to get out of that town.
|
|
So I ran away to this sacred place
|
And was taken in by creatures of the night.
|
Now when the people all stop and stare
|
And say, “Why you gotta dress like that?”
|
I just look them in the eye and tell them
|
I was raised by bats!
|
|
When the people all stop and stare
|
And say, “Why you gotta be like that?”
|
I just look them in the eye and tell them
|
I was raised by bats.
|
|
Those dark days seem far away
|
I've risen to a better place
|
So do like me, follow the dream like that.
|
Just throw your old life away
|
And get raised by bats!
|
|
So we sleep all day and we rise at night
|
And we spread our wings and take into the skies.
|
We do it all our way, live our lives like that
|
And there’s no one here to fill our heads with lies.
|
|
And when the people all stop and stare
|
And say, “Why you gotta be like that?”
|
When the people all stop and stare
|
And say, “Why you gotta dress like that?”
|
When the people all stop and stare
|
And say, “Why you gotta be like that?”
|
I just punch them in the eye and I bite them on the thigh
|
And I kick them in the ass where the sun don’t shine.
|
I look them in the eye and tell them
|
I was raised by bats!
|
|
I just look them in the eye and tell them
|
I was raised by bats!
|
I was raised by bats!
|
I was raised by bats!
