Rat a Tat

Lyrics

[Intro: Courtney Love, Fall Out Boy] 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 Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey! So they just DIY'd that shit and they built their own bombs She's his suicide blonde, she's better than gold Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey! [Verse 1: Patrick Stump] Are you ready for another bad poem? One more off-key anthem 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 [Pre-Chorus: Patrick Stump] 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 [Chorus: Patrick Stump] We're all fighting, growing old, we're all fighting, growing old In the (Hope!) 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 [Refrain: Courtney Love, Patrick Stump] We are professional ashes of roses, this kerosene's live Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey! You settled your score, this is where you come to beg 'Cause it's never getting any better than this Unborn and unshaven, killing fields of fire to a congress of ravens Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey! This is what we do, baby, we nightmare you [Verse 2: Patrick Stump] I'm about to make your 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 [Pre-Chorus: Patrick Stump] 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 [Chorus: Patrick Stump] We're all fighting, growing old, we're all fighting, growing old In the (Hope!) 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 [Post-Chorus: Patrick Stump] 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 [Bridge: Courtney Love, Patrick Stump] 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," she says, "I've lit better" And they throw the matches down into the glitter Not a dry eye left in the house (Talk less, mean more) Go boy, go boy, run for your life (Let's be electric, like we were before) Go boy, go boy, run for your life (Talk less, mean more) Go boy, go boy, run for your life [Chorus: Patrick Stump] We're all fighting, growing old, we're all fighting, growing old In the (hope!) 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 [Post-Chorus: Patrick Stump] 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 [Outro: Patrick Stump] Are you ready for another bad poem?
