lyrics

Great King Rat died today
Born on the twenty first of May
Died syphillis forty four on his birthday
Every second word he swore

Yes, he was the son of a whore
Always wanted by the law
Wouldn't you like to know?
Wouldn't you like to know?

Great King Rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
Now what did I tell you
Would you like to see?

Where will I be tomorrow?
Will I beg or will I borrow?
I don't care, I don't care anyway
Come on come on the time is right
The man is evil and that is right
I told you ah yes I told you
And that's no lie oh no, no

Wouldn't you like to know?
Wouldn't you like to know?
Wouldn't you like to know?
Great King Rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
Now what did I tell you?
Would you like to see?

Wouldn't you like to know?
Wouldn't you like to know people?
Great King Rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
Now what did I tell you?
Would you like to see?
Hit it!

Now listen all you people
Put out the good and keep the bad
Don't believe all you read in the Bible
You sinners get in line
Saints you leave far behind
Very soon you're gonna be his disciple

Don't listen to what mama says
Not a word not a word mama says
Or else you'll find yourself being the rival
The great Lord before he died
Knelt sinners by his side
And said "You're gonna realize tomorrow"

No I'm not gonna tell you
What you already know
'Cause time and time again
The old man said it all a long time ago
Come on, come on the time is right
This evil man will fight
I told you once before
And that's no lie

Wouldn't you like to know?
Wouldn't you like to know?
People
Great King Rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
The last time I tell you?
Would you like to see?

Robby Bloodshed Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey

Robby Bloodshed formed inside the madness and darkness of Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey in 2010. Not confined into one genre, RB blends all the influences of life into one art-punk wall of melodic noise fueled by tales of the macabre.
Robby is influenced by artists such as Glenn Danzig, Frank Sinatra, The Doors, Freddie Mercury, but has a complete sound of his own. ... more
