Extermination
They must be having a good laugh
Those who left me on the road
Forsaken to the wolves
I didn't see that they were the pack
I didn't see
They must be having a good laugh
Those who decided to exterminate me
One fine morning in June
I didn't see that they wanted to eliminate me
I didn't see

Acknowledging that rodent is a crime.
The vermin soon is mashed beneath my heel
