Better Than This / Rat A Tat (feat. Courtney Love)[Spoken music video introduction – Courtney Love:]Rise and shine cult campers Let's put our faith back in mayhem We are every old broken toy born again and again As we turn the hype into hope We silence the noise We are the splinter under the world's fingernail As we turn the diamonds back into coal [Courtney Love:] It's Courtney, bitch Rat a tat tat Rat a tat tat tat hey [Courtney Love:] 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 never been gold [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 Rat a tat tat Rat a tat tat tat hey My love is a weapon There's no second guessing when I say Rat a tat tat Rat a tat tat tat hey 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 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 [Courtney Love:] 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 [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 Rat a tat tat Rat a tat tat tat hey 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 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 [4x] [Courtney Love:] 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 Go boy, go boy, run for your life Go boy, go boy, run for your life Go boy, go boy, run for your life [Patrick Stump:] We're all fighting growing old We're all fighting growing old In the 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 [4x] Are you ready for another bad poem? |
