Lyrics

[Intro 1]
Eight, seven, six, six, six
                             A5
Five, four, three, two, one, zero

[Intro 2]
Yeah!

[Verse 1]
A5      A5
  I'm a pop star threat and I'm not dead yet
Got a super dread bet with an angel drug head
Like a dead beat winner,
I want to be a sinner
An idolized bang for the industry killer
A hideous man that you don't understand
Throw a suicide party and I'm guaranteed to fucking snap
It's evilsonic, it's pornoholic
Breakdowns, obscenities,
it's all I wanna be

[Chorus]
          B5
If you're 555, then I'm 666
If you're 555, I'm 666
Well if you're 555, I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're 555, I'm 666
                               A5
What's it like to be a heretic?

[Verse 2]
A5
Everybody's so infatuated
Everybody's so completely sure of what we are
Everybody defamates from miles away
But face to face,
they haven't got a thing to say
I bleed for this and I bleed for you
Still you look in my face like I'm somebody new
TOYnobody wants anything I've got
Which is fine because you're made of everything I'm NOT

[Chorus]
   B5
If you're 555, then I'm 666
If you're 555, I'm 666
Well if you're 555, I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're 555, I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?

[Build Up]
A5
  Yeah!

[Breakdown]
  A5
Heretic!

[Verse 3]
A5
Yeah!
Thirty Seconds, sixteen, eight, four,
lemme tell you why
I haven't the slightest,
I'm teaching your brightest
They're listening, clamoring
All the money in the world can't buy me
Go ahead lie to me,
tell me again how you're tortured
I wanna know how you followed your orders so well
You're full of shit
You had a dream but this ain't it

[Bridge 1]
   B5
If you're 555, I'm 666
If you're 555, I'm 666

[Bridge 2]
   B5
If you're 555, I'm 666
If you're 555, I'm 666

[Chorus]
   B5
If you're 555, then I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're 555, then I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're 555, I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're 555, then I'm 666
                         A5
What's it like to be a heretic?
