The Heretic Anthem Lyrics

[Intro]
(Eight-seven-six-six-six
Five-four-three-two-one-zero)
Yeah

[Verse 1]
I'm a pop star threat, and I'm not dead yet
Got a super-dred bet with an angel drughead
Like a deadbeat winner, I wanna 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: Corey Taylor, Clown & Chris Fehn]
If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six
If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
But if you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
What's it like to be a heretic?

[Verse 2: Corey Taylor]
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
Toy, nobody wants anything I've got
Which is fine because you're made of everything I'm not

[Chorus: Corey Taylor, Clown & Chris Fehn]
If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six
If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
But if you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
What's it like to be a heretic?

[Bridge: Corey Taylor]
Yeah
Heretic, yeah

[Verse 3: Corey Taylor]
Thirty seconds, sixteen, eight, four, let me 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

[Pre-Chorus: Corey Taylor]
If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
No

[Chorus: Corey Taylor, Clown & Chris Fehn]
If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six
What's it like to be a heretic?

[Outro: Corey Taylor]
Ah, heretic
Ah… yeah
