[Part I: Billy Corgan]
[Verse 1]
The world is a vampire sent to drain
Secret destroyers hold you up to the flames
And what do I get for my pain
Betrayed desires and a piece of the game
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Even though I know I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold, like old Job
[Chorus 1]
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
[Verse 2]
Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it for just one more show
And what do you want?
I wanna change
And what do you got
When you feel the same
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Even though I know I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold, like old Job
[Chorus 1]
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

[Verse 3]
Everyone's watchin' to see what you will do
Everyone's lookin' at you, oh
Everyone's wonderin', will you come out tonight?
Everyone's tryin' to get it right, get it right
[Chorus 2]
Everybody's workin' for the weekend
Everybody wants a new romance
Everybody's goin' off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance, oh
[Post-Chorus]
You want a piece of my heart?
You better start from start
You wanna be in the show?
Come on, baby, let's go
[Verse 4]
Everyone's lookin' to see if it was you
Everyone wants you to come through
Everyone's hopin' it'll all work out
Everyone's waitin', they're holdin' out
[Chorus]
Everybody's workin' for the weekend
Everybody wants a new romance (Yeah)
Everybody's goin' off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance, oh
[Post-Chorus]
You want a piece of my heart?
You better start from start
You wanna be in the show?
Come on, baby, let's go
[Part III: Billy Corgan]
[Verse 5]
Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was an only son, yeah
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was an only son for you
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I still believe that I can not be saved
And I still believe that I can not be saved
And I still believe that I can not be saved
[Chorus 1]
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
