Here at home, in this steepleMade of chrome, above a city of steelI've chosen bats over peopleBecause I never did liked the way humans made me feel!So we sleep all day and we rise at nightAnd we spread our wings and take into the skies!And when the people all stop and stareAnd say "Why ya gotta be like that?"I just look them in the eyeAnd tell 'em "I was raised by bats!"When I was young I was feebleAnd it stung when they pushed me downI was so hated by these peopleThat I knew I had to do what I could to get out of that townSo I ran away to this sacred placeAnd was taken in by creatures of the nightNow when the people all stop and stareAnd say "Why ya gotta dress like that?"I just look them in the eye and tell 'em "I was raised by bats!"When the people all stop and stareAnd say "Why ya gotta be like that?"I just look them in the eye and tell 'em "I was raised by bats!"Those dark days seem far awayI've risen to a better placeSo do like me follow the dream like that!Just throw your ol' life away and get raised by bats!So we sleep all day and we rise at nightAnd we spread our wings and take into the skies!We do it all our wayLive our lives like thatCause there's no one here to fill our heads with lies!And when the people all stop and stareAnd say "Why ya gotta be like that?"When the people all stop and stareAnd say "Why ya gotta dress like that?"When the people all stop and stareAnd say "Why ya gotta be like that?"I just punch them in the eyeAnd I bite them on the thighAnd I kick them in their ass where the sun don't shine!I look 'em in the eye and tell 'em "I was raised by bats!"I look 'em in the eye and tell 'em "I was raised by bats!"I was raised by bats!I was raised by bats!
