Song 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
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
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 the only son (yeah)
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was the only son for you

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
And someone will say what is lost can never be saved
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
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

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was the only son for you

And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved

im not a big fan of theirs, this song bores me to death, i am listening to it on the radio right now and i can't wait for it to end...i think i mostly dont like it because of the lead singers voice, hes pushing it!

How can anyone not like this song? SP can pull off Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" and then go and do something this hardcore...love love love.

Awesome song, and anyone else that so much as thinks the word "sucks" can bend over and suck that instead.

I'm a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan, and a big fan of Mr Corgan's solo material, of course. This is their best song, no doubt about it. *Prays that they'll get back together. One Day*

Why haven't I commented on this yet? I have to say its not one of my favourites, but still a very very good song.

A really good Smashing Pumpkins website that has lyrics is:
Here
Its in Spanish, but its still really good. Click on "Canciones" on the left hand side, you may have to scroll down a little. It even has tabs and a Spanish translation, which is interesting for those studying the language heh.
