"?it's Rough On Rats (If You're Asking)" lyrics - JACK WHITE

[Intro:]
Yes!
Yeah

[Pre-Chorus:]
As bad as we got it
It sure must be rough on rats
The world is worse than when we found it
Sure must be rough on rats

[Chorus:]
Well it's all too much
If you're asking me
It all costs too much
And nothing is free
There's too much, too much
But not enough for me
Well, it's all too much
If you're asking
If you're asking

Preacher, priest or parson
Robbery, murder or arson
Is there any place for me there
I don't think so

[Pre-Chorus:]
As bad as we got
It sure must be rough on rats
The world is worse than when we found it
Sure must be rough on rats
If we're not eating
Then they must have it rougher than us
I'm sure of that
But I should stop complaining every time it's raining
'Cause I'm still not food for cats
Ask me

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus:]
Well, it's far too much
If you're asking me
It all costs too much
And nothing is free
There's too much, too much
But not enough for me
Well, it's all too much
If you're asking
If you're asking

Wise human or simple fool
Mineral or animalcule
Well, is there any home for me there?
I'm just asking
I'm just asking

[Pre-Chorus:]
As bad as we got it
It sure must be
The world is worse than when we found it
Sure must be
If we're not eating
Then they must have it rougher than us
I'm sure of that
But I should stop complaining every time it's raining
'Cause I'm sure not food for cats
Ask me

[Chorus:]
Well, it's all too much
If you're asking me
It all costs too much
And it should be free
There's too much, too much
But not enough for me
Well, it's all too much
If you're asking
