LYRICS
No thesis existed for burning cities down at such a rampant rate
No graphics and no f**king powerpoint presentation
So they just DIY'd that sh*t and 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
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
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, 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
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, run for your life
Talk less
Mean more
Let's be electric
Like we were before

Where it says "I'm the lonelier version of you" I always thought it said "I'm alone, you're a virgin" and then I looked at the lyrics.

[@connorherron8607]

"My heart is a grenade, you pull the pin and say..."

[@gracerichards7796]

"I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead" seems to be a common thread for these guys, it was in Alone Together too. I like the message of it though.

[@raidercosplay6376]

You need to lower your standards,Cause its never getting any better than this...

[@damiananderson9656]

I can just imagine a Mad Max type of world where everyone is wearing camo and singing Rat-a-tat!

[@bogdan2805]

1. Love how they're referencing Alone Together in the lyrics! 2. I think Courtney's vocals are just right here, I mean without her fast-paced verse I don't think the song would be the same!

[@MoonIsNinja]

"I'm about to make the sweat roll backwards. And your heart beat in reverse." I fricken love those lyrics!

[@incogneeto2812]

"i'm a lonelier version of you, i just don't know where i went wrong"

[@sircubsalot7906]

"Your heart is a grenade..." Who does that sound like? Starts with Green

[@bananasauz4337]

I’m not even too crazy fond of this song, but the sound of the drumsticks tapping gently in the background is enough to make me listen over and over again

[@mehljblover]

This song is just perfect. It speaks to me so much. "My heart is a grenade, you pull the pin and say, 'We're all fighting growing old."

[@lkrdp9463]

DUDE IT'S BEEN 8 YEARS. THE WHOLE YOUNG BLOOD CHRONICLES IS A LYRICAL MASTERPIECE

[@ripthisibarelyuseit8575]

[@simon-yx5ln]

the other day I heard this song and I was like eh

[@spookycowb0y_]

No one:

[@deenamallon5212]

"I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead"- Rat A Tat "I’ll check in tomorrow if I don’t wake up dead."- Alone Together Ooo! But what's the link?

[@Aliziun]

Tbh I was kinda scared when I watched the Whole Young Blood Chronicles

[@VibeDPyro]

What I love about this song is that the beat feels like it’s constantly changing and that its fast and loud

[@caity_strophic]

This is like the fallout boy version of Na Na Na by MCR!! XD

[@banaynayraerae]

fall out boy has truly outdone themselves with this album, they've grown up so much and it makes me so proud :)
