Spent like dimes, saved in the hat on an old man's head

Trapped like rats, Cornered by the flood
We built a raft and we floated

Trapped like rats, Cornered by the flood
We built a raft and we floated
Save for the tricks And the endless lies
They could be liked for their motives
They could be liked for their motives but...
