Raised By Bats

Here at home in this steeple
 Made of chrome, above a city of steel
 I've chosen bats over people
 'Cause I never did like the way humans made me feel
 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 you gotta be like that?"
 I just look 'em in the eye and tell 'em, "I was raised by bats"
 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
 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 you gotta dress like that?"
 I just look 'em in the eye and tell 'em, "I was raised by bats"
 When the people all stop and stare
 And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
 I just look 'em in the eye and tell 'em, "I was raised by bats"
 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 old life away, and get raised by bats

 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 you gotta be like that?"
 When the people all stop and stare
 And say, "Why you gotta dress like that?"
 When the people all stop and stare
 And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
 I just punch them in the eye and I bite them on the thigh
 And I kick 'em in the ass where the sun don't shine
 I look 'em in the eye and tell 'em, "I was raised by bats
 I just look 'em in the eye and tell 'em, "I was raised by bats"
 I was raised by bats
 I was raised by bats
