Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Good for you, you fooled everybody
Good for you, you fooled everyone
Good for you, now you're somebody
Good for you, you fooled everyone
[PreChorus]
Leave your weapon on the table
Wrapped in burlap, barely able
Don't get angry, don't discourage
Take a shot of liquid courage
[Chorus]
'Cause my monsters are real
And they're trained how to kill
And there's no coming back
And they just laugh at how I feel
And these monsters can fly
And they'll never say "die"
And there's no going back
If I get trapped, I'll never heal
Yeah, my monsters are real
[Verse 2]
Good for you, you hurt everybody
Good for you, you hurt everyone
Good for you, you love nobody
Good for you, you owe no one
[PreChorus]
Leave your weapon on the table
Wrapped in burlap, barely able
Call a doctor, say a prayer
Choose a god you think is fair
[Chorus]
'Cause my monsters are real
And they're trained how to kill
And there's no coming back
And they just laugh at how I feel
And these monsters can fly
And they'll never say "die"
And there's no going back
If I get trapped, I'll never heal
'Cause my monsters are real
[Bridge]
Leave your weapon on the table
Wrapped in burlap, barely able
Don't get angry, don't discourage
Take a shot of liquid courage
Leave a light on if you're able
'Cause we both know you're unstable
Call a doctor, say a prayer
Choose a god you think is there
[Chorus]
'Cause my monsters are real
And they're trained how to kill
And there's no coming back
And they just laugh at how I feel
And these monsters can fly
And they'll never say "die"
And there's no going back
If I get trapped, I'll never heal
Yeah, my monsters are real
