Panic! at the Disco - Local God lyrics

In 1998, you bought a BC rich
You were a master shredder from the jump
Blew them all away with the Ritalin kids
While I was shedding through
My sophomore slump
You had so many chances to become a star
But you never really cared about that

Local God you'll live forever as a local God
It's even better than the thing you're not
Local God local God
You'll live forever as a local God
You'll be remembered for the thing you're not
Local God

We signed a record deal at seventeen
Hated by every local band
They say we never paid our dues
But what does that mean when
Money never changes hands?
It's 2021 and I'm almost famous
You never really cared about that

Local God you'll live forever as a local God
It's even better than the thing you're not
Local God local God
You'll live forever as a local God
You'll be remembered for the thing you're not
Local God

Are you melting face at the Bellagio? Woah
Or are you teaching little kids
How to rock 'n' roll? Woah
Did you get weighed down by
Your heart of gold?
'Cause you really only cared about that
Wonder if you had a chance to sell your soul
Did you ever get your money back?
Did you ever kiss the devil?

Local God you'll live forever as a local God
It's even better than the thing you're not
Local God local God
You'll live forever as a local God
You'll be remembered for the thing you're not
Local God local God
It's even better than the thing you're not
Local God
