In the Grand Scheme of Teens

Tonight the suburbs look just like an ancient colosseum
So let's both kiss or duel to death 'til we each earn our freedom
I will be the lion, and you'll be the gladiator
Or you can be the roman god forcing me to be your lover
And oh, your bedroom tonight reminds me of the middle ages
And your hands are a black plague bound to infect me in many stages
And, I'll torture myself because I think it's what God wants.
I only want it if it's gonna be dramatic,
And after I'm immune, it feels a third of me is gone.
Well, you can be the fascists and I will be the world war
Let's not mind the casualties, only keep track of the score
We keep writing treaties, yet still you keep crossing borders
And though I hate authority, I will keep taking orders.
I only want it if it's gonna be dramatic.
Baby, I'm a nihilist; it's got to be climactic.
Innocence stopped making sense; the sense was so fantastic.
My heart burns, still I won't learn to ever be pragmatic.
I only want it if it's gonna be dramatic,
I only want it if it's gonna be dramatic,
I only want it if it's gonna be dramatic,
My heart burns, still I won't learn to ever be pragmatic.
