Aurelio Voltaire - Raised By Bats Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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!

[Chorus]
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!"

[Verse 2]
When I was young I was feeble
And it stung when they pushed me down
I was so hated by these people
That I knew I had to do what I could to get out of that town

[Chorus]
So I ran away to this sacred place
And was taken in by creatures of the night
Now 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!"
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!"
[Verse 3]
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!

[Chorus]
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?"
When the people all stop and stare
And say "Why ya gotta dress like that?"
When the people all stop and stare
And say "Why ya gotta be like that?"

[Outro]
I just punch them in the eye
And I bite them on the thigh
And I kick them in their ass 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!
