Snitches and Talkers Get Stitches and Walkers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Show me, show me, show me a starry-eyed kid
I, I, I will break his jaw
I won't, I won't, I won't let him get his hopes up
No-oh, oh, oh
And I will save him from himself
Here's a picture with a note, "No, don't turn out like me"
It's only for your own good
No-oh, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
And haven't you heard, the word on the street is
"I lost it, called it quits," get out into the sun
Out from behind the gossip
Oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
This story's getting old
The home wrecker with the heart of gold

Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Keep, k-keep talking, keep this alive
This story's getting old

The home wrecker with the heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Now-ow-ow
[Post-Chorus]
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!

[Verse 2]
Even when there's n-n-n-n-nothing worth living for
You're still, you're still, still worth lying for
No-no one has to
Know-ow-ow


[Pre-Chorus]
And haven't you heard, the word on the street is
"I lost it, called it quits," get out into the sun
Out from behind the gossip
Oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
This story's getting old
The home wrecker with the heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Keep, k-keep talking, keep this alive
This story's getting old
The home wrecker with the heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Now-ow-ow
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
This story's getting old
The home wrecker with the heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Keep, k-keep talking, keep this alive
This story's getting old
The home wrecker with the heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Now-ow-ow, n-now-ow-ow, n-now-ow-ow, n-now-ow-ow, stop!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

OVERVIEW

“Snitches and Talkers Get Stitches and Walkers” is a bonus track from the reissued album (“Black Clouds and Underdogs”). It is more similar sounding to Take This to Your Grave than most other songs on the record, which is probably why it was not considered as a final cut.

Is it true that Pete Wentz said that this song sounded too much like My Chem?
Genius Answer

While a more verifiable source cannot be found, this thread on reddit and this ranking of every Fall Out Boy song seem to suggest that yes, at one point Wentz did say that it sounded too much like something the band My Chemical Romance would have produced.
