  • All my life, been hustling
    And tonight is my appraisal
    'Cause I'm a hooker sellin' songs
    And my pimp's a record label
    This world is full off demons
    Stocks and bonds and bible traders
    So I do the deed, get up and leave
    A climber and a sadist, yeah

    Are you ready for the sequel?
    Ain't you ready for the latest?
    In the garden of evil
    I'm gonna be the greatest
    In a golden cathedral
    I'll be praying for the faithless
    And if you lose, boo-hoo

    Hey look ma, I made it
    Hey look ma, I made it
    Everything's comin' up aces, aces
    If it's a dream, don't wake me, don't wake me
    I said hey look ma, I made it

    Friends are happy for me
    Or they're honey-suckle phonies
    Then they celebrate my medals
    Or they wanna take my trophies
    Some are loyal soldiers
    While these other thorns are rosy
    And if you never know who you can trust
    Then trust me you'll be lonely, oh

    Are you ready for the sequel?
    Ain't you ready for the latest?
    In the garden of evil
    I'm gonna be the greatest
    In a golden cathedral
    I'll be praying for the faithless
    And if you lose, boo-hoo

    Hey look ma, I made it
    Hey look ma, I made it
    Everything's comin' up aces, aces
    If it's a dream, don't wake me, don't wake me
    I said hey look ma, I made it, I made it

    I said hey look ma, I made it, I made it
    I see it, I want it, I take it, take it
    If it's a dream, don't wake me, don't wake me

    I said hey look ma, I made it
    (Mama best believe it, Mama best believe it) (Hey look ma, I made it)
    (Think I must be dreamin', wide awake and dreamin') (Hey look ma, I made it)
    (Mama best believe it, Mama best believe it) (Hey look ma, I made it)
    (Think I must be dreamin')
    Hey look ma, I made it Writer/s: Brendon Boyd Urie, Dillon Hart Francis, Jacob Scott Sinclair, Michael John Angelakos, Morgan Grace Kibby, Samuel Hollander
