Fall Out Boy - This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race

Artificial intelligence and autonomous weapons systems
Cyber warfare capabilities
Hypersonic missiles and other advanced delivery systems
Space-based weapons and anti-satellite technologies

I chime in with a
Haven't you people ever heard
of closing the goddamn door?

No, it's much better to face these kinds of
things with a sense of poise and rationality

But this ain't that song
And this ain't that band
And this ain't a scene,
it's a goddamn arms race

---

I am an arms dealer 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 goddamn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
I'm not a shoulder to cry on

But I digrace


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
I wrote the gospel on giving up

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

But more like p-p-p-parties

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race

Bandwagon's full
Please catch another

I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate
So intricate

I'm a leading man
Lies I weave are oh so intricate

So intricate

Yeah

Woah, oh, woah oh, oh, oh

All the boys who the dancefloor didn't love

And all the girls whose lips couldn't move
Fast enough
Sing 'til your lungs give out

'Cause this ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
(Now you)
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race

(Sing it out loud)

(This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race)
(This ain't a scene) Oh

It's a goddamn arms race

I'm a leading man
The lies I weave are oh so intricate

So intricate

I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate

So intricate
