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 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.
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 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.
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.
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh.
All the boys who the dance floor didn't love,
And all 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.
this isnt fall out boy.. its weird.. it sounds like a disco song.. i havent decided if i like it yet.. the lyrics are weird too.. i love pete's lyrics, but this doesnt sound like him.. its like they're trying to make their songs dance-able (that word probably doesnt exist..) anyway.. its weird.. i guess i could get used to it, but i love fall out boy so bad.. its kind of dissapointing to hear this.. i was expecting so much.. well i guess i was expecting them to be the same, or to change but at the same time staying the same, just as good as they were.. im not saying they suck now, but its different, and weird.. ill probably buy the album anyway, but im gonna hear it first.. thats not something i usually do, i just buy them cause i trust them..

vocal All in all, I like this song a lot. It's different than their last albums and it has a good vibe to it. Hopefully the rest of Infinity On High will follow in suit.

vocal well i usually read petes blog and it said that ppl are trashing it and saying its like totally not them, but he said they made the song to make fun of like backstreet boys & if you listen to the song agian you'll totally pick it up, they do the whole echo thing they always do and everything

vocal This song's good, but not too great.
It does sound like Panic, who sounds like FoB so i guess they sounds like themselves.
I prefer their older songs over this one, but I'll still listen to them.

vocal a very bold attempt by fob, it's good to hear something newish from em. but that song's kinda in between of the panic! and the original fob, so the song doesn't appeal to me like the old fob and panic! did, neither did the lyrics. but now it's growing on me, i'm gonna listen to it again IT'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

vocal well, this is complicated.....
it´s SO different from the older album, which i love more than this song....
i was waiting for something that sounds exactly like the other album, and YA it really sounds like panic! at the disco... panic! are good but fob were much better..... that is´nt what i was wishing to hear... but, it´s ok... i mean and the other single ¨Carpal Tunnel Of Love¨ sounds much better....
ill buy their album but i think it will be wicker than ¨Under The Cork Tree¨
in my opinion they took a risk......
but even though, i will love fob forever no matter what!
espaiclly pete.

vocal I love this song!!!! It is soooo not fall out boy but I admire artist who reinvent them selves its the only way to stay alive and seeking advice from an artist like Jay-Z is never ever a mistake its like asking god for guidance not that I'm comparing jay-z with god I'm just saying he iis very knowledgeable and knows what he's talking about. All in all a great song, although it sounds a litlle Maroon5'ish its still good. Maroon5 were the first group to do R&B vocals and rock instruments its hot its different I love it. And it proves that the lead singer can really sing
I'm glad it doesn't sound like Fall Out Boy. Cause normally im not very fancy about their music, but this is good. Beginning sucks but tis only getting better and better

vocal What's all this talk about.."I don't like it! It's different!" Get a hold of yourselves; if it's a good song, it's a good song. And this is a good song. Adjust to change: it happens and it's good.
I think that the lyrics are pretty P!atD-y, but the music is very FoB. I've only heard it a couple times on a pretty crappy audio version on YouTube, so maybe I'm not hearing it like the rest of you are.. =P
* offtopic : Loved this bit by Inmykakypants, by the way: It does sound like Panic, who sounds like FoB so i guess they sounds like themselves.
People...do you even know what you are talking about when you say they sound P!@tD.ish?
You realize Panic! is Pete's pet project, right?
And that Panic! is basically a group of teenagers trying to find their sound, right?
And that one of P!@tD's influences is very strongly FOB, right?
Think about it...how can Fall Out Boy sound like Panic! at the Disco...when Panic! at the Disco sounds like them?
What came first? The chicken or the egg. In the case of these 2 bands, it is simple. Fall Out Boy was around before Panic! at the Disco hit puberty.
Therefore, it is quite obvious, that it is impossible for Fall Out Boy to sound like Panic! at the Disco since Panic! at the Disco molded their music (if not, then they SOUND ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE) Fall Out Boy.
So please stop with the "-whinewhinewhine-they sound like Panic!-whinewhinewhine-"
i soooo agree with hockey_fan p!atd ARE a kind of remake of fob, just a different sound and different words! FOB are one of p!atd biggest insperations- maybe thats why you are all sayin fobs new song sounds like p!atd.
i think we all know who is better tho..... FALL OUT BOY FUCKING OWN ALL YOUR ASSES BITCHES.
so there.
