Aurelio Voltaire - Raised By Bats! lyrics

Here at home, in this steeple Made of chrome, above a city of steel I've chosen bats over people Because I never did liked the way humans made me feel! So we sleep all day and we rise at night And we spread our wings and take into the skies! And when the people all stop and stare And say "Why ya gotta be like that?" I just look them in the eye And tell 'em "I was raised by bats!" When I was young I was feeble And it stung when they pushed me down I was so hated by those people That I knew I had to do my best to get out of that town So I ran away to this sacred place And I was taken in by creatures of the night And when the people all stop and stare And say "Why ya gotta dress like that?" I just look them in the eye and tell 'em "I was raised by bats!" And when the people all stop and stare And say "Why ya gotta be like that?" I just look them in the eye and tell 'em "I was raised by bats!" Those dark days seem far away I've risen to a better place So do like me follow the dream like that! Just throw your ol' life away and get raised by bats! So we sleep all day and we rise at night And we spread our wings and take into the skies! We do it all our way Live our lives like that Cause there's no one here to fill our heads with lies! And when the people all stop and stare And say "Why ya gotta be like that?" And when the people all stop and stare And say "Why ya gotta dress like that?" And when the people all stop and stare And say "Why ya gotta be like that?" I just punch them in the eye And I bite them in the thigh And I kick them in their a** where the sun don't shine! I look 'em in the eye and tell 'em I was raised by bats! I look 'em in the eye and tell 'em I was raised by bats! I was raised by bats! I was raised by bats!
