D A
Here at home in this steeple
D G
Made of chrome, above a city of steel
D A
I've chosen bats over people
D G D A
'Cos I never did like the way humans made me feel
D A
So we sleep all day and we rise at night
D G
And we spread our wings and take into the skies
D A
And when the people all stop and stare
D G
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
D A D A
I just look them in the eye and tell them I was raised by bats
D A
When I was young, I was feeble
D G
And it stung when they pushed me down
D A
I was so hated by these people
D A D A
That I knew I had to do what I could to get out of that town
D A
So I ran away to this sacred place
D G
And was taken in by creatures of the night
D A
Now when the people all stop and stare
D G
And say, "Why you gotta dress like that?"
D A D
I just look them in the eye and tell them I was raised by bats
D A
When the people all stop and stare
D G
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
D A D A
I just look them in the eye and tell them I was raised by bats
D A
Those dark days seem far away
G A
I've risen to a better place
D A G
So do like me, follow the dream like that
D A D
Just throw your old life away and get raised by bats
D A D G D A D G D A D
D A
So we sleep all day and we rise at night
D G
And we spread our wings and take into the skies
D A
We do it all our way, live our lives like that
D G
'Cos there's no one here to fill our heads with lies
D A
And when the people all stop and stare
D G
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
D A
When the people all stop and stare
D G
And say, "Why you gotta dress like that?"
D A
When the people all stop and stare
D G
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
D A
I just punch them in the eye and I bite them on the thigh
D G
And I kick them in the ass where the sun don't shine
D A D A
I look them in the eye and tell them I was raised by bats
D A D
I just look them in the eye and tell them I was raised by bats
G
I was raised by bats
A D
I was raised by bats
D A D G D A D G D A D
