Lyrics

[Intro] Eight, seven, six, six, six Five, four, three, two, one, zero Yeah [Verse 1] I'm a pop star threat and I'm not dead yet Got a super-dred bet with an angel drughead Like a deadbeat winner, I wanna be a sinner An idolized bang for the industry killer A hideous man that you don't understand Throw a suicide party and I'm guaranteed to fucking snap It's evilsonic, it's pornoholic Breakdowns, obscenities, it's all I wanna be [Chorus] If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six But if you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six What's it like to be a heretic? If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six What's it like to be a heretic? [Verse 2] Everybody's so infatuated Everybody's so completely sure of what we are Everybody defamates from miles away But face to face, they haven't got a thing to say I bleed for this and I bleed for you Still, you look in my face like I'm somebody new Toy, nobody wants anything I've got Which is fine because you're made of everything I'm not [Chorus] If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six But if you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six What's it like to be a heretic? If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six What's it like to be a heretic? [Bridge] Yeah Ah, ah Heretic Yeah [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Thirty seconds, sixteen, eight, four, let me tell you why I haven't the slightest, I'm teaching your brightest They're listening, clamoring All the money in the world can't buy me Go ahead, lie to me Tell me again how you're tortured I wanna know how you followed your orders so well You're full of shit You had a dream, but this ain't it [Chorus] If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six No, if you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six What's it like to be a heretic? If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six What's it like to be a heretic? If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six What's it like to be a heretic? If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six What's it like to be a heretic? [Outro] Ah, heretic Ah, yeah
