Dirty Rotten Bastards Lyrics

Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah

Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!

Calling all demons
This is the season
Next stop is therapy

We're the retarded
And the brokenhearted
The season of misery

Here's to the wasted
I can almost taste it
The rejects and waste of times

Gonna take it further
Get away with murder
And no one here is getting out alive

Here's to all God's losers
Ra da da da de
The bottom-feeder's frenzy

Here's to all bloodsuckers
Sing along with me
Cause we don't say no
Scream 1,2,3

Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah

Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!

We're too old to be misbehaved
We sold our souls and so ashamed of ourselves
So we wait for miss judgment day
Write me a letter and send it to my grave

All fucked up beyond intervention
Fuck the world
This is my revolution
Long lost souls and livin' in cages
I'm on a bender
It's one for the ages

I've got the urge
To binge and surge
The tables turn
To crash and burn

Juliana Homicide
Make my demons come to life
Juliana Homicide
Oh, Won't you be my blushing bride

Chop me a line
Of my best friend's ashes
Dust to dust
When the red Light flashes
What the fuck does "ok" stand for
When the afterlife is nothing worth dying for?

I got the urge
To binge and surge
The tables turn
To crash and burn

Juliana Homicide
Make my demons come to life
Juliana Homicide
Oh, Won't you be my blushing bride
Alright!

Well California's burning to the ground
And Juliana walks on holy ground
Where there's smoke there's fire
BUrning out the lights
'Cause California's burning down tonight
Tonight

Calling all demons
This is the season
Next stop is therapy

We're the retarded
And the brokenhearted
The season of misery

Here's to the wasted
I can almost taste it
The rejects and waste of times

Gonna take it further
Get away with murder
And no one here is getting out alive

Here's to all God's losers
Ra da da da de
The bottom-feeder's frenzy

Here's to all bloodsuckers
Sing along with me
Cause we don't say no
Scream 1,2,3

Way
Carried away
Carried away
Carried away

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song hit close to me. It's so joyful, and sad. I think it hits the mentality very well of someone giving in to another drug/alcohol bender, embracing it with glee, feeling like you can and will do almost anything, off to the races to have a good time, burn California to the ground... and knowing it's all going to end in therapy, the grave, the loss of your soul, a waste of time. He knows he's too old to be doing all this. But for now it is what it is, he's going with it, carried away.

One of my favorites in the whole trilogy, it sounds like it's leftover from the American Idiot album and it's awesome
