This Ain't A Scene It's An Arms Race (Remix)
Fall Out Boy · Other Songs - Fall Out Boy
Fitting you with weapons in the form of words.
And 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 goddamned arms race.
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race.
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned 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, yeah.
[Kanye]
Now I don't know what the hell this song is talkin' about,
Do you?
She said 'Yeah, I been spending all day trying to figure that out.'
You too?
The arms race made them raise their arm and race straight to the top.
Who knew?
Right now they got that number one spot, do you want that?
Me too.
One thing I gotta call out, boy, take a look at Fall Out Boy,
'Cause they ain't black when they get money they don't ball out, boy.
They just buy tight jeans till their nuts hang all out, boy.
They figure Ye dress tight so we 'gun dress tighter.
He dress white so we 'gun dress whiter.
So in spite of any thing you might've seen or heard,
This scene occurred, word.
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.
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh.
All the boys who the dance floor didn't love,
And the girls who's lips couldn't move fast enough;
Sing, until your lungs give out.
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race.
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race.
(Now you.)
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race.
(Wear out the groove.)
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race.
(Sing out loud.)
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race.
(Oh, oh.)
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned 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.
