Lyrics[]

The record goes from blue to gold
So thank you for all your help
I know you want to jump around
But try to contain yourself

You always struck me as the type to take it lightly
But now you're gonna have to shut your mouth and fight me

Oh backstabber
Backstabber

You're all alone
You're all over the popular magazines
Will never care what do you care
You're down with the japanese

But you've got no right to sit there saying I abuse it
When you only sleep with girls who say they like your music

Oh backstabber
Backstabber, backstabber
Backstabber, backstabber
Backstabber, backstabber
Backstabber

Backstabber! Hope grabber!
Greedy little fit haver!
God I feel for you fool
You Shit lover! Off-brusher!
Jaded bitter joy crusher!
Failure has made you so cruel, you

Rotten to the core
Rotten to the core

Rotten like a crackwhore
Begging out the backdoor
Show us what you're good for
Post it on the noise board
Come on join the bloodsport
Show us some support
Still working at the drugstore
Is it because you're
A fucking

Backstabber! Hope grabber!
Greedy little fit haver!
God I feel for you fool
You Shit lover! Off-brusher!
Jaded bitter joy crusher!
Failure has made you so cruel

So don't tell me what to write
And don't tell me that I'm wrong
And don't tell me not to reference my songs within my songs

Oh oh You backstabber! Hope grabber!
Backstabber greedy fucking fit haver!
Backstabber!
