Good for you, you fooled everybody Good for you, you fooled everyone Good for you, now you're somebody Good for you, you fooled everyone Leave your weapon on the table Wrapped in burlap, barely able Don't get angry, don't discourage Take a shot of liquid courage 'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill And there's no comin' back and they just laughed at how I feel And these monsters can fight, and they'll never say die And there's no goin' back, if I get trapped I'll never heal Yeah, my monsters are real Good for you, you hurt everybody Good for you, you hurt everyone Good for you, you love nobody Good for you, you owe no one Leave your weapon on the table Wrapped in burlap, barely able Call a doctor, say a prayer Choose a god you think is there 'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill And there's no comin' back and they just laughed at how I feel And these monsters can fight, and they'll never say die And there's no goin' back, if I get trapped I'll never heal 'Cause my monsters are real Leave your weapon on the table Wrapped in burlap, barely able Don't get angry, don't discourage Take a shot of liquid courage Leave a light on if you're able 'Cause we both know you're unstable Call a doctor, say a prayer Choose a god you think is there 'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill And there's no comin' back and they just laughed at how I feel And these monsters can fight, and they'll never say die And there's no goin' back, if I get trapped I'll never heal Yeah, my monsters are real
