    Story Behind the Song
    People have written lots of material about how the world might be after a third world war. With the type of weaponry available, its unlikely that much would survive. This song suggests that only the cockroaches, and the "highway rats" or the"nomads" (Motorcycle gangs) would survive. This is a sci-fi-adventure fantasy take on the situation. It talks about what's left (not much) and how it ended, and day to day survival by these rats of the highway.

    Lyrics
    Twisted metal lies abandoned
    no use in fife today
    pistons pounding, pulsing, turning
    no time to delay

    Rats on the highway
    Faster than the speed of sound
    Thunder and lightning
    Our force shakes the ground

    Broken bodies lie forgotten
    bleeding in the acid rain
    ripping through the magic
    of a life you threw away

    Rats on the highway
    Faster than the speed of sound
    Thunder and lightning
    Our force shakes the ground

    Rats on the highway
    Faster than the speed of sound
    Thunder and lightning
    Our force shakes the ground

    I can see the future
    as I see the past
    I am made of steel
    a metal that will last
    13 year old warriors
    on blood stained battle fields
    swinging pipes and chains
    using hub caps for their shields

    Rats on the highway
    Faster than the speed of sound
    Thunder and lightning
    Our force shakes the ground
