Bats vs Rats
Evil eyes looking at me
Maniac people glaring freak
The sun rises for everyone
We are the same
The standard behavior attacks again
Attacks again
Attacks again

We are the bats you are the rats
Bats vs rats
We are the resistance
The last chance
Bats vs rats

We are the bats you are the rats
Bats vs rats
We are the resistance
The last chance
Bats vs rats

The system
The poverty
The future
Our right

The system
The poverty
The future
Our right

We are the lights the
People of the night
Lets fight to shine bright
Your plague
Your awful pride
You just crawl
But we can fly
We can fly
We can fly

We are the bats you are the rats
Bats vs rats
We are the resistance
The last chance
Bats vs rats

We are the bats you are the rats
Bats vs rats
We are the resistance
The last chance
Bats vs rats

We are the bats you are the rats
We are the bats you are the rats
We are the bats

"Bats vs Rats" is a powerful antifascist gothic anthem that articulates a fierce resistance against the rising tide of extreme right-wing ideologies globally. The song opens with haunting imagery of "evil eyes" and "maniac people," establishing a dark and ominous tone that reflects the urgency of the current sociopolitical climate.

In this metaphor, the "bats" represent those who stand defiantly against oppression, while the "rats" symbolize the fascists and far-right extremists who sow division and promote injustice. The chorus, with its powerful mantra of "We are the bats, you are the rats," serves as a rallying cry for unity among marginalized communities, emphasizing the strength that comes from collective resistance.

The lyrics confront systemic issues—like poverty and the encroaching threats to civil rights—while urging listeners to recognize their own power in the face of rising authoritarianism. The song celebrates the "people of the night" as harbingers of hope and resilience, suggesting that even in the darkest times, there is potential for change and light.

The imagery of flying bats contrasted with crawling rats highlights the empowerment gained through standing up against the extreme right's advances. "Bats vs Rats" is more than just a song; it's a fierce manifesto for action against the growing threat of fascism and a call for solidarity among those committed to justice and equality worldwide. It urges listeners to rise, resist, and shine brightly, fighting against oppression in all its forms.
