Mutilation Is the Most Sincere Form of Flattery Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, there's no rules today
You steal instead of borrow
You take all the shapes that I make
And think that you think all the thoughts
That I thought you, don't you?
Mutilation's the most sincere form of flattery
If you want to be me
Then stand in line like the rest
Now, do you know what I mean?
[Chorus]
The young get less bolder
The legends get older, but I stay the same
As long as you have less to say
Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you
[Post-Chorus]
Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you too
Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you too
Do you really think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you
[Verse 2]
Rebels without applause
I sell my shadow to those who are standing in it
They think I would bitch about them
Thinking they are the shit
When they can't even step in it
[Chorus]
The young get less bolder
The legends get older, but I stay the same
As long as you have less to say
Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you
[Post-Chorus]
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you too
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
The young get less bolder
The legends get older, but I stay the same
As long as you have less to say
Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you
[Interlude]
Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you too
[Chorus]
The young get less bolder
The legends get older, but I stay the same
As long as you have less to say
Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you
[Post-Chorus]
Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you too
Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you too
Do you really think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you
