Sonic Youth - Rats Lyrics
When the rats run riot
And the screen door slams
When the trees grow quiet
Nothing but cats and cans
When the breeze says try it
When your love has died
And you rat on me
I see your eyes in the half-light
I see the number on your wall
Endless strange things I see at night
You don't see anything at all
Shine a light into your soul
City streets so freezing cold
When they let the rats out
Rats
You call it love alright
That was the catch
A cold suicide
Let me place you in my past
With other precious toys
But if you're ever feeling low down in the fractured sunshine
I'll help you feel the noise
Shine down
You can go on home
Shine down
Go
Go
Rats
You're working overtime
You are the moon beyond your mind
When the rats run riot
And the screen door slams
When the world goes quiet
You'll know where I am
You could be my open road
You could be the reason why
You could ease my heavy load
But I want to freeze you out now
You can let it shine
Keep that in mind
When they let out a rat next time
You could move a little closer
Until you're leaning all up around my shoulder
See these shadows walk around
When they let the rats out

Why not live in the black.... Anyone who works for anyone is a rat.
The Danger of a Design and the Problem in Saxony; A Guide for the Practical Man:
(Phi and Pi, Trismegistus, Chemistry, Trivium, and Counting out 12-bar blues)
A man's inherent practical nature must be overcome through learning to achieve true progress. Truth lies through a back door or outside the apparent box of perception. A female is naturally more impractical and must strive for practicality, but is closer to a truth. The established traditions lie in overcoming one's natural ideosyncracies, but appear a simple practicality. The highest of traditions appear at first a treat of simplicity, but can destory a simple practical man over time. Sometimes a great truth lies in a front door, but not at the apparent doorknob, such as in a book.
-A simple beware to a scratch or scratched ring and its maker's tendencies. The game can dangle a practical carrot but runs deep. Books require ceratin impractical keys to see their understandings and greater artists have deep traditions and sometimes agendas. These can also speak to the average or common but there lies a danger.
