I've been counting the junkies Passing by my window I've been staring at the fly on the wall And all the people I used to treasure Are now extras I want to ignore Generation X has lost it all The silence is complete, it's just a naked night Save your prayers for someone else Cause there ain't no hope in sight My body's working against me I can not walk the line So if my knees where meant for kneeling Then push me to the ground The rats left the ship We are slowly dying Here comes the plague, the final plague The rats left the ship We are slowly dying Here comes the plague, the final plague Here comes the final plague The one we've waited for A quiet havoc for us all Sorrow welled up in me I wanted to cry But crying is stupid so I'd rather die But dying is lonely I need company Oh, this life is killing me But he who wants a rose must respect the thorn And after every dark night, there's another dawn Remember this when you're sick of it all The plague has a rise and the plague has a fall The rats left the ship We are slowly dying Here comes the plague, the final plague The rats left the ship We are slowly dying Here comes the plague, the final plague Here comes the final plague The one we've waited for A quiet havoc for us all
