Lyrics
It's Courtney, bitch!
Rat a tat, tat, rat a tat, tat, tat, hey
No thesis existed for burning cities down at such a rampant rate
No graphics and no fucking Powerpoint presentation
So they just DIY'd that shit and they built their own bombs
She's his suicide blond, she's number than gold
Are you ready for another bad poem?
One more off key anthem?
And let your teeth sink in
Remember me as I was not as I am
And I said "I'll check in tomorrow
If I don't wake up dead"
I kept wishing she had blonde ambition
And she'd let it go to my head
Rat a tat, tat, rat a tat, tat, tat, hey
If my love is a weapon, there's no second guessing when I say
Rat a tat, tat, rat a tat, tat, tat, hey
If my heart is a grenade, you pull the pin and say
We're all fighting growing old, we're all fighting growing old
In the (ho) hopes of a few minutes more
To get, get on St. Peter's list
But you need to lower your standards
'Cause it's never getting any better than this
We are professional ashes of roses
This kerosene's live, you settled your score
This is where you come to beg, unborn and unshaven
Killing fields of fire to a congress of ravens
This is what we do, baby, we nightmare you
I'm about to make the sweat roll backwards
And your heart beat in reverse
Our guts can't be reworked
As alone as a little white church
In the middle of the desert getting burned
But I'll take your heart served up two ways
I sing a bitter song
I'm the lonelier version of you
I just don't know where it went wrong
Rat a tat, tat, rat a tat, tat, tat, hey
If my love is a weapon, there's no second guessing when I say
Rat a tat, tat, rat a tat, tat, tat, hey
If my heart is a grenade, you pull the pin and say
We're all fighting growing old, we're all fighting growing old
In the (ho) hopes of a few minutes more
To get, get on St. Peter's list
But you need to lower your standards
'Cause it's never getting any better than this
Rat a tat, tat, rat a tat, tat, tat, hey
It's never getting any better than this
Rat a tat, tat, rat a tat, tat, tat, hey
It's never getting any better than this
Rat a tat, tat, rat a tat, tat, tat, hey
It's never getting any better than this
Rat a tat, tat, rat a tat, tat, tat, hey
It's never getting any better than this
She's sick and she's wrong, she's young, dirty blonde
And you sink inside her like a suicide bomb
He says "I've seen bigger," he says "I've lived better"
And they throw the matches down into the glitter
Not a dry eye left in the house
Go, boy, go, boy, run for your life
Go, boy, go, boy, run for your life
Go, boy, go, boy, run for your life
We're all fighting growing old, we're all fighting growing old
In the (ho) hopes of a few minutes more
To get, get on St. Peter's list
But you need to lower your standards
'Cause it's never getting any better than this
Rat a tat, tat, rat a tat, tat, tat, hey
It's never getting any better than this
Rat a tat, tat, rat a tat, tat, tat, hey
It's never getting any better than this
Rat a tat, tat, rat a tat, tat, tat, hey
It's never getting any better than this
Rat a tat, tat, rat a tat, tat, tat, hey
It's never getting any better than this
Are you ready for another bad poem?
