I guess that since the song's not widely released I should have
been more thorough and specific, but y'all will hear it soon and
know how it goes.  And you know how I hate to tab out all those
rhythm strumms (ie. the end riff)...sorry.

LYRICS:

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

even though i know-i suppose i'll show
all my cool and cold-like old job

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

now i'm naked, nothing but an animal
but can you fake it, for just one more show
and what do you want, i want to change
and what have you got
when you feel the same

even though i know-i suppose i'll show
all my cool and cold-like old job

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

tell me i'm the only one
tell me there's no other one
jesus was an only son
tell me i'm the chosen one
jesus was an only son for you

despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
and i still believe that i cannot be saved
