Rancid é uma banda de punk rock com influências de ska, formada em Albany, CA, Estados Unidos, em 1991.
A história do Rancid tem inicio com Tim Armstrong e Matt Freeman, que se conhecem desde os 5 anos de idade. Desde então sempre foram muito amigos, frequentando as mesmas escolas, e fazendo parte do mesmo grupo de amigos. Em meados de 1987 fundaram juntos uma banda de ska-punk chamada Operation Ivy, que contava tambem com Jesse Michaels e Dave Mello em sua formação.

CFCF Knock knock come in you wanna fight I'm gonna win CF I'll take you out in a minute CF Step in my flat see what's in it
CF I live in the land of the welfare state CF My flat used to be section eight CF Now it's a rat infested cocaine run CF My whole world plays like a broken drum
BbFCBbFC Junkie drunken bum yeah yeah yeah rats in the hallway again
Outside my gate my crew's drinking a 40
Asked me if there's still rats in the hallway I said
Some things are like the weather
They never seem to change for the better
This girl came to me said she do me no harm
Rolled up her sleeve showed me tracks on her arm
I said what's your name she said it was Maya CF She said Tim I wanna take you higher
BbFCBbFC Junkie drunken bum yeah yeah yeah rats in the hallway again
Zombie walking kid on his own no moral
Mr. High leaves the body in comes Mr. Withdrawl
Pain is the only thing the body will allow
The kid wants to dance the gangster knows how
Johnny bought some dope down on Market
Shoot up boot up the human target
Hit the dirty spike when he hit the scene
It's easy to stay dirty nothing's clean
He's a writer tags up Jackyl
Jackyl just clamped unclampable shackles
Rout up shoot up it's money it goes like that
Rat tat tat kid got shot point black in the back
My landlord said not to be bumming
He was a cocaine stoop and he had it coming
He had it coming? He's only 12 years old
CF The kid was in the blizzard got shot for being cold CF It don't seem right tonight hit the lights alright CF Watch the roaches run into the darkest room
