[Verse 1]
Am
The system we live in splits the world we know
C
Into kings in a castle and some rats on the floor
Am
One part has everything and even asks for more
G
The other’s in the gutter got to less too live on
[Chorus]
Am
I don’t wanna be afraid
C
Throw myself into the sea
And hope you’ll forget me
Am G
Got nothing left to lose
[Verse 2]
Am
But if you’d ask me
Where I would chose to be
C
I would not choose the castle
I’d still chose the streets
Am
If you don’t own a thing
You can’t lose anything
G
I would rather be a rat than a king
[Chorus]
Am
I don’t wanna be afraid
C
Throw myself into the sea
And hope you’ll forget me
Am G
Got nothing left to lose
Am
I don’t wanna be afraid
C
Throw myself into the sea
And hope you’ll forget me
Am
Got nothing left to lose
G
I’d rather be a rat than a king if I could choose
[Verse 3]
Am
The system we live in splits the world we know
C
Into kings in a castle and some rats on the floor
Am
The crown and the throne, the greed for more
G
A withdrawing shutter, the oath that you swore
[Chorus]
Am
I don’t wanna be afraid
C
Throw myself into the sea
And hope you’ll forget me
Am G
Got nothing left to lose
Am
I don’t wanna be afraid
C
Throw myself into the sea
And hope you’ll forget me
Am
Got nothing left to lose
G
I’d rather be a rat than a king if I could choose
[Bridge]
Am
To live, to survive
C
Too less to feel pride
Am
They’re angry you made it
Who cares if you die
G
Is any of it justified
Am
To live, to survive
C
Too less to feel pride
Am
They’re angry you made it
Who cares if you lose
G
I’d rather be a rat than a king if I could choose
