My Favourite Monster

Boys seek violence and they watch movies

I'm getting thinner, the American dream

So we lie politely, with pretty teeth

You were right, living ain't easy

You got your heroes, they die on TV

Cult classics sticking out your jeans

I'd never do that, it's just not me

I write in paperbacks, I'm so unique

They say there's a thin line between love and hate

So I'll build an ADX high security and I'll shut the gate

And you're my favourite monster, he threw Elizabeth across the room

When I'm dead, you'll weep and say, "I love to hate you"

I heard it through the grapevine, that I'd never say

It's just not like me, it's not my place

So you cling to culpable

And I'll feign fallible

I cross my heart that I'm a-

We could have been friends

Just kids on the playground

Oh I'd steal your ball and you'd kick me around

And you hate my music, say it sounds the same

But I hate your everything, I hate you

You're my favourite monster, he threw Elizabeth across the room

When I'm dead, you'll weep and say, "I love to hate you"

And we're throwing stones at each other, I'd never do such a thing

You can't take me away

You're my favourite monster

Easy

You're my favourite monster, he threw Elizabeth across the room

When I'm dead you'll weep and say, "I love to hate you"

We're throwing stones at each other, I'd never do such a thing

You can't take me away, I'm not sure I'm innocent
