Rat a Tat

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
So they just DIY’d that shit and built their own bombs
She’s his suicide blonde, 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 (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

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
I’m about to make the sweat roll backwards
And your heartbeat 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 (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
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
She’s sick and she’s wrong
She’s your dirty blonde
And you sink inside her like a suicide bomb

He says “I’ve seen bigger”
She says “I’ve lived 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…

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
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?
