Is it bad that I never really wanted to get saved? And laughing when hurt was my thing? Well I'm thinking I want to I don't really want to, yes I really want to So let me go now so let me go now Champing the bit for nutrition's sake I'd rather burn out than fade away Die young than live forever I'm gonna raise hell until it's high enough to be heaven Then maybe you can find me They told me if I look up They told me I would find you there [x2] What if I say that mutually exclusive ain't a thing? Now God and Darwin are ashamed Well, I'd like to reconsider You can't reconsider, let me reconsider So what you're saying is - for me, you're saying that The stairway to heaven is more like a slope? And I will slip to a fiery death If I don't believe in Satan? I'm gonna raise hell until it's high enough to be heaven Then maybe you can find me They told me if I look up They told me I would find you there [x2] They said there's no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole I'm trying to be a god damned believer but the road to heaven's full of potholes They said he talks like a christian but walks like an atheist They said he talks like a christian but walks like an atheist They said he talks like a christian but walks like an atheist I'm gonna raise hell until it's high enough to be heaven Then maybe you can find me (there) Maybe I can find you (there) Hoping I can find you [x2] They told me if I look up They told me I would find you there If I look up to find you then how can I deny you? [x2] He talks like a christian Walks like an... Talks like a christian Walks like an atheist! (And I heard them talking, I hear what they're saying, they're saying: "There are no martyrs... anymore, none!" So, so I'ma choose, I'ma make a choice, um... To give myself away for something, something bigger Than myself and my name, uh, It's for others, in the wake of my, of my, Of my death) There were no martyrs until he gave himself away Giving your life is the only way to make them see And once you're gone, they'll realize death is the only way To die for your cause is the most effective way to propagate Make me a martyr make sure the books they read my name A gun to my head, a hair trigger with the worst of aim Flirting with death, but I'm married to my selfish ways See, I'd die for something, but then I wouldn't get to see the fame To be a martyr you mustn't die a death in vain I'd kill myself, but suicide is so cliche Heavenly father, does heaven have a place for me? Or will I get there only to learn St. Peter has misplaced the key? (Somewhere right down the middle, right down the middle That's where we'll meet them all! That's where we'll meet!) After you kill one, well there's thousands more And there's thousands, fucking thousands make about a million more so, We got an army, for us versus them And I'm not afraid cos, well.. (no) We got an army of us versus them but look, it's not us versus them. It's just us, my friend...s. It's plural. Stop wondering and start acting, stake your claim (Hahaha, I'm just playing) They say there's no place for you here, so you better make one (And that's the lesson for today, boys and girls. Ladies and gentlemen. I've been your presenter, your exhibition, your example So, it's about time, I go and take my own life I'm just fucking with you, I'm just fucking with you, Hahaha, oh shit)
