Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Knock  knock come  in you  wanna fight I'm  gonna win
I'll  take you out in  a minute
Step  in my flat see  what's in it
I  live in the land of the welfare  state
 My flat  used to be section  eight
Now  it's a rat infested cocaine  run
 My whole  world plays like a broken  drum
Junkie drunken bum yeah  yeah yeah rats  in the hallway again
 Outside my gate my crew's drinking a 40
 Asked me if there's still rats in the hallway I said
 Some things are like the weather
 They never seem to change for the better
 This girl came to me said she do me no harm
 Rolled up her sleeve showed me tracks on her arm
 I said what's your name she said it was Maya
 She said Tim  I wanna take  you higher
Junkie drunken bum yeah  yeah yeah rats  in the hallway again
 Zombie walking kid on his own no moral
 Mr. High leaves the body in comes Mr. Withdrawl
 Pain is the only thing the body will allow
 The kid wants to dance the gangster knows how
 Johnny bought some dope down on Market
 Shoot up boot up the human target
 Hit the dirty spike when he hit the scene
 It's easy to stay dirty nothing's clean
 He's a writer tags up Jackyl
 Jackyl just clamped unclampable shackles
 Rout up shoot up it's money it goes like that
 Rat tat tat kid got shot point black in the back
 My landlord said not to be bumming
 He was a cocaine stoop and he had it coming
 He had it coming? He's only 12 years old
 The kid  was in the blizzard got shot  for being cold
It  don't seem right tonight hit  the lights alright
Watch  the roaches run into  the darkest room
Junkie drunken bum yeah  yeah yeah rats  in the hallway again
Junkie drunken bum yeah  yeah yeah rats  in the hallway again
