Here at home in this steeple
Made of chrome, above a city of steel
I've chosen bats over people
'Cause I never did like the way humans made me feel
So we sleep all day and we rise at night
And we spread our wings and take into the skies
And when the people all stop and stare
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
I just look 'em in the eye and tell 'em, "I was raised by bats"
When I was young, I was feeble
And it stung when they pushed me down
I was so hated by these people
That I knew I had to do what I could to get out of that town
So, I ran away to this sacred place
And was taken in by creatures of the night
Now when the people all stop and stare
And say, "Why you gotta dress like that?"
I just look 'em in the eye and tell 'em, "I was raised by bats"
When the people all stop and stare
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
I just look 'em in the eye and tell 'em, "I was raised by bats"
Those dark days seem far away
I've risen to a better place
So, do like me, follow the dream like that
Just throw your old life away, and get raised by bats

So we sleep all day and we rise at night
And we spread our wings and take into the skies
We do it all our way, live our lives like that
'Cause there's no one here to fill our heads with lies
And when the people all stop and stare
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
When the people all stop and stare
And say, "Why you gotta dress like that?"
When the people all stop and stare
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
I just punch them in the eye and I bite them on the thigh
And I kick 'em in the ass where the sun don't shine
I look 'em in the eye and tell 'em, "I was raised by bats
I just look 'em in the eye and tell 'em, "I was raised by bats"
I was raised by bats
I was raised by bats
