Lyrics of
Heathens

Twenty One Pilots Heathens was written by Tyler Joseph for the 2016 Suicide Squad movie soundtrack. The song discusses the notion of not judging others based on first impressions or hearsay, a message that aligns with the movies themes of outcasts and anti-heroes.

All my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don't make any sudden moves
You don't know the half of the abused
All my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don't make any sudden moves
You don't know the half of the abused

Welcome to the room of people
Who have rooms of people that they loved one day, docked away
Just because we check the guns at the door
Doesn't mean our brains will change from hand grenades
You'll never know the psychopath sitting next to you
You'll never know the murderer sitting next to you
You'll think, "How'd I get here sitting next to you?"
And after all I've said, please don't forget

All my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don't make any sudden moves
You don't know the half of the abused

We don't deal with outsiders very well
They say newcomers have a certain smell
You have trust issues, not to mention
They say they can smell your intentions
You'll never know the freakshow sitting next to you
You have some weird people sitting next to you
You'll think, "How'd I get here sitting next to you?"
But after all I've said, please don't forget (Watch it)

All my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don't make any sudden moves
You don't know the half of the abused

All my friends are heathens, take it slow (watch it)
Wait for them to ask you who you know (watch it)
All my friends are heathens, take it slow (watch it)
Wait for them to ask you who you know

Why'd you come, you knew you should have stayed
I tried to warn you just to stay away
And now they're outside ready to bust
It looks like you might be one of us
