Here at Dhome in this Asteeple
Made of Dchrome, above a city of Gsteel
I've chosen Dbats over Apeople
'Cos I Dnever did like the Gway humans made me DfeelA  
So we sDleep all day and we Arise at night
And we Dspread our wings and take into the Gskies
And when the Dpeople all stop and Astare
And say, D"Why you gotta be like Gthat?"
I just Dlook them in the eye and Atell them I was raised by DbatsA  
When I was Dyoung, I was Afeeble
And it Dstung when they pushed me Gdown
I was so Dhated by these Apeople
That I Dknew I had to Ado what I could to get out of that DtownA  
So I Dran away to this Asacred place
And was Dtaken in by creatures of the Gnight
Now when the pDeople all stop and Astare
And say, D"Why you gotta dress like Gthat?"
I just Dlook them in the eye and Atell them I was raised by Dbats
When the Dpeople all stop and Astare
And say, D"Why you gotta be like Gthat?"
I just Dlook them in the eye and Atell them I was raised by DbatsA  
DThose dark days seem Afar away
I've Grisen to a Abetter place
So Ddo like me, folAlow the dream like Gthat
Just Dthrow your old life Aaway and get raised by Dbats
D   A   D   G   D  A  D  G  D  A  D
So we Dsleep all day and we Arise at night
And we Dspread our wings and take into the Gskies
We do it Dall our way, live our Alives like that
'Cos there's Dno one here to fill our heads with Glies
And when the Dpeople all stop and Astare
And say, D"Why you gotta be like Gthat?"
When the Dpeople all stop and Astare
And say, D"Why you gotta dress like Gthat?"
When the Dpeople all stop and Astare
And say, D"Why you gotta be like Gthat?"
I just Dpunch them in the eye and I Abite them on the thigh
And I Dkick them in the ass where the Gsun don't shine
I Dlook them in the eye and Atell them I was raised by DbatsA  
I just Dlook them in the eye and Atell them I was raised by Dbats
I was raised by Gbats
I was raised Aby Dbats
