A prissy little thing with a tan
 Was an outcast in the basement
 Tryin' anything he can

 The skirts spit words like razor blades
 To keep him off their trail
 He keeps a chant of silence
 For a moment in his cell

 Chorus:

 The dirty rat is sellin' things he can't afford
 He leaves his misery to play
 In the Soma City Ward
 Soma City Ward

 Oh, pieces of the son-of-a-bitch
 Float around the crowd
 He wears his bad intentions like a cape or a shroud

 Then he blew his mind on Drano
 From his third story hotel room
 Yeah he missed the pool by inches
 So he won't be walkin' soon

 Chorus:

 The dirty rat is seein' things he can't ignore
 He left is body for a day
 In the Soma City Ward
 Soma City Ward

 All these people in his head
 Sayin' to jump out and you'll be free
 Come sleep in my demon bed
 Hope that you want it as bad as me

 Chorus:

 The dirty rat is seein' things he can't ignore
 He leaves his misery to play
 In the Soma City Ward
 Soma City Ward
 Soma City Ward...

 Soma
