Battle Of The Beta (Becoming The Alpha) Songtext
von Vampire Squid

Slide in the bowl for the mammals
You′ve got to survive, You've got to survive
The enemy is a beta fish
So I′ll become the alpha

Circle the bowl and expose the masculinity
Intimidation is key to victory
A fight to the death

For the amusement of the spectator
Some call it animal cruelty, but I call it a love for the sport

Battle of the betas to prove dominance to all
Vibrant fins flail of pretty colors and cloud with blood

Inferior life form
Puff up your chest and spread those fins
Become the alpha and destroy the beta

The ever seeing eye watches in amusement
Ripped, mangled, and torn again
Maybe for the last time


There can only be one alpha
Humans have amused themselves with death
Since the dawn of time
Hunger for their bloodsport

Battle
Beta
Become
Alpha
Sink or swim
Black and blue
Bloody
Victor

Battle
Beta
Become
Alpha
Sink or swim
Black and blue


Battle
Beta
Become
Alpha
Sink or swim
Black and blue
Bloody
Victor

Battle
Beta
Become
Alpha
Sink or swim
Black and blue

Body, lifeless floating
Amphibious bloodbath
Crunching, on fins like bratwurst
Carved out, and left for dead

Battle of the Beta
Becoming the Alpha
