This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race
Fall Out Boy

I am an arms dealer

Fitting you with weapons in the form of words

And I don't really care which side wins

As long as the room keeps singing

That's just the business I'm in


This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race

This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race

This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race

I'm not a shoulder to cry on but I digress


I'm a leading man

And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate

I'm a leading man

And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate


I wrote the gospel on giving up

(You look pretty sinking)

But the real bombshells have already sunk

(Prima donnas of the gutter)

At night we're painting your trash gold while you sleep

Crashing not like hips or cars

No, more like p-p-p-parties


This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race

This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race

This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race

Bandwagon's full, please, catch another


I'm a leading man

And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate

I'm a leading man

And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate


All the boys who the dance floor didn't love

And all the girls whose lips couldn't move fast enough

Sing until your lungs give out


This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race

This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race

(Now you)

This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race

(Wear out the groove)

This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race

(Sing out loud)

This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race

(Oh, oh)

This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race


I'm a leading man

And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate

I'm a leading man

And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate
