Fall Out Boy — Rat a Tat (without Courtney)

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
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 hopes
Of a few minutes more
To get on St. Peter's list
But you need to lower your standards
Cause it's never getting any better than this

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 hopes
Of a few minutes more
To 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

We're all fighting growing old
We're all fighting growing old
In the hopes
Of a few minutes more
To 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?
