"27 Club" lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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?

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)
