The Rats of Illusion - Wayne Kramer

Rats of illusion

Close-ups in slow-mo

Hawkin fear and mayhem

Like the whole town’s gonna blow.

If it bleeds it leads

Rumor and confusion

Messengers of misery

These rats of illusion.

Fangs in your neck

Violate you in your palace

The rats of illusion

Are masters of malice

Breed 'em in the west

Strong back in the east

They’d kill for higher ratings

Got that perfect hair

Got that perfect smile

Got those perfect teeth

Rats of illusion

Boys in the back room

Poets of tabloid murder

Live with film at noon

Daytime confession talk shows

Nightly true crime-a-rama.

Live from the house of corrections

It’s network slime-o-rama.

Rats of illusion

With electric precision

Hunt in packs

Make deadline decisions.

On the scent of blood

Fueled by naked conceit

Come straight from central casting

Got that perfect hair

Got that perfect smile

Got those perfect teeth

Rats of illusion
