Story Behind The Song
I needed a quite song illustrating Louie realization that he's just a rat, and that's all he can be. Many think of rats as untalented, shifty and such. But he stays around to be who he is.

Lyrics
I'm just a rat
and the chances of that
my dreams will come true is from zero and back
cause I'm just a rat.
Still I won't quit
Won't let them pass me by
I'll shoot for the moon for the rest of my life
And I'll always try
Chorus:
I'm just a rat
That's all I can be
I'm just a rat
And that's all you can see
If we were friends
It would mean the world to me
but just for a day I would like to you feel
what it's like to be me
I'm just a rat
and the chances of that
I'll get somewhere good is from nowhere and back.
Cause I'm just a rat
Chorus:
I'm just a rat
That's all I can be
I'm just a rat
And that's all you can see
I'm just a rat
Why don't you, why don't you see me
You can only see a rat
I'm just a rat
and I'm just fine with that
