Panic! At The Disco - Viva Las Vengeance Album Lyrics

Viva Las Vengeance

Hey

Pyramid of ones, kids with loaded guns
Plugged on a power strip
(Power strip)
I'm already dead, Woodstock in the shed
I'm so out of it
(Out of it)
Someone did me wrong, stole my favorite song
Yes, it really hurt
(Really hurt)
Stepped on every chord, fell on every sword
Yes, Excalibur
(Excalibur)

I don't wanna be a diva
I just wanna be free
On a sofa with Sativa
Living the dream

Shut up and go to bed
She said, "Viva Las Vengeance"
Shut up and go to bed
She said, "Viva Las Vengeance"

Hacking at my feed, act like you are me
No one really cares
(Really cares)
Nothing's really real, no one really feels
Nothing to declare
(To declare)

I don't wanna be anonymous
But I don't wanna be you
In a city full of promises
Nothing rings true

Shut up and go to bed
She said, "Viva Las Vengeance"
Shut up and go to bed
She said, "Viva Las Vengeance"

Giving up the key to paint a masterpiece
What am I doing here?
Stuck here in the weeds
On a road that leads

To nowhere
To nowhere
To nowhere
To nowhere
To nowhere
To nowhere
To nowhere
To nowhere

Shut up and go to bed
Viva Las Vengeance

Shut up (shut up and go to bed)
(Viva Las Vengeance)
Shut up (shut up and go to bed)
(Viva Las Vengeance)

Shut up and go to bed
She said, "Viva Las Vengeance"
Shut up and go to bed
She said, "Viva Las Vengeance"

Every moment is a replay
I'm being buried alive
Didn't wanna kill the DJ
But it can't hurt to try

Middle Of A Breakup

Honeybee, honey, I can hear the gossip buzzin' 'round the hive
Ecstasy, love it up until the point you sting me and I die
You and me don't deserve each other
We ain't no star crossed lovers, we just get carried away

Oh shit, you're kissin' my neck, kissin' my chest
Now I remember why we fell in love
Hot smoke, feels like we just met, lips I couldn't kick
Honey, honey, you're my favorite drug

Keep your disco, gimme me T-Rex
Makeup sex in the middle of a breakup
Blessed be your last cigarette
Makeup sex in the middle of a breakup

Destiny, I hate those words like destiny, forever and all time
Guarantee, guaranteed we live forever, least until tonight
You and me ain't no Bonnie and Clyde
Although we tried and tried, we gave ourselves away (ah)

Oh shit, you're kissin' my neck, kissin' my chest
Now I remember why we fell in love
Hot smoke, feels like we just met, lips I couldn't kick
Honey, honey, you're my favorite drug

Keep your disco, gimme me T-Rex
Makeup sex in the middle of a breakup
Blessed be your last cigarette
Makeup sex in the middle of a breakup
(Makeup sex) in the middle of a breakup
(Makeup sex) in the middle of a breakup
Save the worst, gonna give you my best
Makeup sex in the middle of a breakup

Woo
Keep your disco, gimme me T-Rex
Makeup sex in the middle of a breakup
Blessed be your last cigarette
Makeup sex in the middle of a breakup
(Makeup sex) in the middle of a breakup
(Makeup sex) in the middle of a breakup
Save the worst, gonna give you my best
Makeup sex in the middle of a breakup

(Makeup sex) hoo
(Makeup sex)
Honeybee (ah)

Don't Let The Light Go Out

Stare at a wall that's told a thousand tragedies
Holding a hand that's loved every part of me
A lady comes and tells me that I've got to leave
Right away everybody is the enemy
Deep breaths from the room where I watch you lie
Any beat from your heart gets me through the night
You're my love, you're my death, you're my alibi
Say this isn't good bye

Who's gonna drive me home tonight?
Who's gonna argue 'til they win the fight?
You're the only one that knows how to operate
My heavy machinery

Don't let the light go out
Don't let the light go out
Don't let the light go out
Don't let the light go out

A rush of blood floods hot thoughts in my head
Red roses sitting silently beside the bed
I'm saying more right now than I ever said
Don't wanna live if the thought of loving you is dead

Who's gonna drive me home tonight?
Who's gonna argue 'til they win the fight?
You're the only one that knows how to operate
My heavy machinery, so
Who's gonna drive me home tonight?
Who's gonna argue 'til they win the fight?
You're the only one that knows how to operate
My heavy machinery

Don't let the light go out
Don't let the light go out
Don't let the light go out
Don't let the light go out

Who's gonna drive me home tonight?
Who's gonna argue 'til they win the fight?
You're the only one that knows how to operate
My heavy machinery, so
Who's gonna drive me home tonight?
Who's gonna argue 'til they win the fight?
You're the only one that knows how to operate
My heavy machinery

Don't let the light go out
Don't let the light go out
Don't let the light go out
Don't let the light go out

Local God

In 1998, you bought a B.C. Rich
You were a master shredder from the jump
Blew them all away with the Ritalin kids
While I was shedding through my sophomore slump
You had so many chances to become a star
But you never really cared about that

Local God
You'll live forever as a local God
It's even better than the thing you're not
Local God
Local God
You'll live forever as a local God
You'll be remembered for the thing you're not
Local God

We signed a record deal at seventeen
Hated by every local band
They say we never paid our dues
But what does that mean
When money never changes hands?
It's 2021 and I'm almost famous
You never really cared about that

Local God
You'll live forever as a local God
It's even better than the thing you're not
Local God
Local God
You'll live forever as a local God
You'll be remembered for the thing you're not
Local God

Are you melting face at the Bellagio?
Whoa, oh oh, oh oh
Or are you teaching little kids how to rock 'n roll?
Whoa, oh oh, oh oh
Did you get weighed down by your heart of gold?
'Cause you really only cared about that
Wonder if you had a chance to sell your soul
Did you ever get your money back?
Did you ever kiss the devil?

Local God
You'll live forever as a local God
It's even better than the thing you're not
Local God
Local God
You'll live forever as a local God
You'll be remembered for the thing you're not
Local God
Local God (local God)
It's even better than the thing you're not
Local God

Star Spangled Banger

We are electric angels
We are the six string queens
We are the new Dead Kennedys
In the land of the brave, home of the freaks
We are the kids from the underground
We are the new mainstream
We are the mass hysteria
In the land of the brave, home of the freaks
Home of the freaks
Home of the freaks

Me, Katie and Brittany went to the Meadows Mall
Got a ring in my bottom lip
Sat on my lap in the photo booth
Took turns giving me a kiss
I never was much for schooling
Got a 2.1 GPA
Didn't need numbers to show us the way
Just look at us today, look at us today

We are electric angels
We are the six string queens
We are the new Dead Kennedys
In the land of the brave, home of the freaks
We are the kids from the underground
We are the new mainstream
We are the mass hysteria
In the land of the brave, home of the freaks
Home of the freaks
Home of the freaks

Playing on Liberace's piano
At a house party up in Summerlin
Hardwired to something magic
That teleported me out of my skin
Pretty Sam sat down next to me
She asked me if I could play her a song
When I didn't know the words, she said, "That's okay"
"Just play what ya know"
"Let it all go"

We are electric angels
We are the six string queens
We are the new Dead Kennedys
In the land of the brave, home of the freaks
We are the kids from the underground
We are the new mainstream
We are the mass hysteria
In the land of the brave, home of the freaks
(We are)
(We are) in the land of the brave, home of the freaks

We are the kids from the underground
We are the new mainstream
We are the mass hysteria
In the land of the brave, home of the freaks
Home of the freaks
Home of the freaks, of the freaks

God Killed Rock And Roll

They're looking right at you
From the posters in your room
They're the song that you sing
When you don't believe a thing
They're the hope, they're the prayer
When no one else is there

A little dreamer in the glow of the receiver
Every song he played was alright
Blew out the speakers dancing in his sneakers
Every move he made was alright
Swinging on a beam of light
Catch a star before it dies
What a perfect night to fly away

Goodbye to Vegas, there was nothing left to save us
So we drove away, it's alright
Jumped in the sprinter, touring through the winter
Every show we played was alright
Singing out our life on stage
High enough to feel no pain
What a perfect day to fly away

(Ah)

Well, I don't really know what I know
But I'll show you everything that I can show you tonight
And I don't know where we're going, but it's going alright
It's alright
It's alright

Well, I don't really know what I know
But I'll show you everything that I can show you tonight
And I don't know where we're going, but it's going alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright

God killed rock 'n' roll
God killed rock 'n' roll
No blood on the stage, no Plant, no Paige
Kiss 'em all goodbye
God killed rock 'n' roll
God killed rock 'n' roll
No fist through the glass, no backstage pass
'Cause god killed rock
God killed rock 'n' roll

(Ah)

God killed rock
God killed rock 'n' roll
God killed rock 'n' roll
Your Buddy Holly glasses and your plaster casters
Kiss 'em all goodbye
God killed rock 'n' roll
God killed rock 'n' roll
Your leather slacks and your hi watt stacks
'Cause god killed rock
God killed rock 'n' roll

They're looking right at you
From the posters in your room
They're the song that you sing
When you don't believe a thing
They're the hope, they're the prayer
When no one else is there
They rock your mom
They rock your dad

(Ooh, God killed rock 'n' roll)

On the bus after the show
Staring down a lonely road
Everybody needs a place to go

Say It Louder

Everybody hates you now
But don't you let it bring you down
Breaking out of your small town
Show them what you're all about
For the people in the back (back, back, back, back)
Contemplating why you're here
Floating through the atmosphere
Laughing through your crocodile tears
As your moment disappears

Hey kids
Legends and gods
Give them applause
We made it against all odds
Choose
Your weapon of choice
Your beautiful voice
Don't ever let 'em turn you down (turn it up, turn it up, rock city)
Turn it up (turn it up, turn it up, rock city)
Say it louder for the people
Say it louder for the people
Say it louder for the people in the back (back, back, back, back)
Say it louder for the people in the back (back, back, back, back)
Hey

Living with a laissez-faire
So you got a cross to bear
Dying 'cause you just don't care
Gave 'em all a real good scare
Is there nothing you can find? (Is there nothing you can find?)
To light the darkness in your mind (light the darkness in your mind)
Don't you know, you're not alone? (Don't you know, you're not alone?)
Dancing in the neon glow (dancing in the neon glow)

Hey kids
Legends and gods
Give them applause
We made it against all odds
Choose
Your weapon of choice
Your beautiful voice
Don't ever let 'em turn you down (turn it up, turn it up, rock city)
Turn it up (turn it up, turn it up, rock city)
Say it louder for the people
Say it louder for the people
Say it louder for the people in the back

When the song comes on the radio
When you're headed home after the show (headed home after the show)
Remember what it's like to be there
You definitely had to be there (remember what it's like)
When you've got no place to call your home
Just remember how you felt at the show
Remember what it's like to be there
Remember what it's like

Hey kids
Legends and gods
Give them applause
You made it against all odds
Choose
Your weapon of choice
Your beautiful voice
Don't ever let 'em turn you down (turn it up, turn it up, rock city)
Turn it up (turn it up, turn it up, rock city)
Say it louder for the people
Say it louder for the people
Say it louder for the people in the back (back, back, back, back)
Say it louder for the people in the back (back, back, back)
Say it louder for the people in the back

Something About Maggie

Maggie, don't you know?
He's got a real fuse about to blow
You gotta let him go
(People say, people say)
(Run away, run away)

Gilly thinks that he's a DJ
Makes me want to slit my wrist
Breaking mirrors on the subway
No one dances to his hits
Glitter whippits on the freeway
Mamas and papas shitting bricks, yeah
Give your boy a little leeway
No one dances to his playlist
Yeah, you gotta let him go

Maggie, don't you know?
He's got a real fuse about to blow
You gotta let him go

Thank you for doing all the work, ooh
God damn the Holy Rollers
Making the matters worse
Fourth of July and it's snowing

Sad Clown

Vincero

I thought that I had friends
I thought I even liked them
But now I'm thinking maybe not so much
I hit the space bar
I cannot play guitar
They give me bottles, but it's never enough
Five minutes, ten minutes, to a half an hour
For the rest of my life

Leave me alone
(A pagliaccio triste)
Leave me alone
(He not so molto bene)
Your majesty's magnificent
My tragedy is imminent
Even though I'm smiling
I'm crying
I shall win

Vincero
Vincero

From up behind the booth
She walks in with her crew
Did I see Maggie holding Gloria?
They look so happy there
But I don't even care
I pop a pill to feel euphoria
Five minutes, ten minutes, to a half an hour
But not the rest of my life

Leave me alone
(A pagliaccio triste)
Leave me alone
(He not so molto bene)
Your majesty's magnificent
My tragedy is imminent
Even though I'm smiling
I'm crying
I shall win

Vincero
Vincero
Vincero

Leave me alone
(A pagliaccio triste)
Leave me alone
(He not so molto bene)
Your majesty's magnificent
My tragedy is imminent
Even though I'm smiling
I'm crying
Sick and tired of trying
I'm dying
Is this all there is?! (Majesty's magnificent)
(Tragedy is imminent)
(A pagliaccio triste)
(He not so molto bene)

All by Yourself

If you give a listen
You sweet little kitten
Sittin' downstairs in your room
Wood panel walls
Rock posters from the mall
Playing just for you

When the house lights dim and the show begins
All the aliens touch down on stage
If we could read the script of our future
We would never turn the page
Live forever in a day

All by yourself
All by yourself
You can change everything all by yourself
All by yourself
All by yourself
You're the queen, you're the king
All by yourself

You always hated sports
You buzzed your hair short
Dyed it pink to piss them off
With a hand poke tattoo
They made a monster outta you
But you're beautiful, you're tough

When the summer ends and school's back in
You feel trapped in the afterglow
Three minutes, thirty seconds of a rock and roll record
Is all you need to know
Live forever in a day

All by yourself
All by yourself
You can change everything all by yourself
All by yourself
All by yourself
You're the queen, you're the king
All by yourself

It's you and me
It's you and me, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We live forever
We live forever
You and me
It's you and me
We're gonna live forever in a day
Yeah, yeah, yeah

All by yourself
All by yourself
You can change everything all by yourself
All by yourself (all by yourself)
All by yourself
You're the queen, you're the king
All by yourself

Do It To Death

Take me to the limit
Take me to the limit
Nothing lasts forever, so we'll give it a try
Take me to the limit
Every single minute
Do it all to death, now before we die

Patience now, don't cut the line
Put me back together, it'll be just fine
You're in or out or left behind
Take it to eleven, 'fore we run out of time (oh)

Take me to the limit
Take me to the limit
Nothing lasts forever, so we'll give it a try
Take me to the limit
Every single minute
Do it all to death, now before we die

Lose control, step on the gas
Burn a little brighter for as long as it lasts
Growing older happens fast
Nothing's gonna happen if you sit on your ass (one, two, three, go)

Take me to the limit
Take me to the limit
Nothing lasts forever, so we'll give it a try
Take me to the limit
Every single minute
Do it all to death, now before we die
Do it all to death, now before we die

(Ooh)
(Ooh)

Do it all to death, do it all to death
Do it all to death, do it all to death
Do it all to death, do it all to death
Ah

Take me to the limit
Take me to the limit

Take me to the limit
Take me to the limit
Nothing lasts forever, so we'll give it a try
Take me to the limit
Every single minute
Do it all to death, now before we die
Take me to the limit
Take me to the limit
Nothing lasts forever, so we'll give it a try
Take me to the limit
Every single minute
Do it all to death, now before we die
Do it all to death, now before we die
Do it all to death, now before we die

Shut up and go to bed
Shut up and go to bed
