This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters
But we never stood a chance
And I'm not sure if it matters
If you are the shores, I am the waves begging for big moons
I'm mailing letters to addresses in a ghost town
Your secrets's out
I know this hurts, it was meant to
Your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one
And it's mind over (you don't) matter
This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters
But it must be said again that all us boys are just screaming
Into microphones for attention
Because we're just so bored
We never knew that you would pick it apart, oh
I'm falling apart to songs about hips and hearts
Your secrets's out
I know this hurts, it was meant to
Your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one
And it's mind over (you don't) matter
I used to obsess over living,
Now I only obsess over you
Tell me you'd like boys like me better
In the dark lying in on top of you
This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters
This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters
This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters
This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters
I know this hurts, it was meant to
Your secret's out and the best part is it isn\'t even a good one
And it's mind over (you don't) matter
But we never stood a chance
And I'm not sure if it matters
If you are the shores, I am the waves begging for big moons
I'm mailing letters to addresses in a ghost town
Your secrets's out
I know this hurts, it was meant to
Your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one
And it's mind over (you don't) matter
This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters
But it must be said again that all us boys are just screaming
Into microphones for attention
Because we're just so bored
We never knew that you would pick it apart, oh
I'm falling apart to songs about hips and hearts
Your secrets's out
I know this hurts, it was meant to
Your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one
And it's mind over (you don't) matter
I used to obsess over living,
Now I only obsess over you
Tell me you'd like boys like me better
In the dark lying in on top of you
This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters
This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters
This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters
This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters
I know this hurts, it was meant to
Your secret's out and the best part is it isn\'t even a good one
And it's mind over (you don't) matter

Just wanting to know why it's You're A Concrete Boy Now, as opposed to Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying.
I mean, no matter the song title, it's a brilliant song, but since I'm used to it, I'm gonna call it Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying.
i took a quiz once to see what FOB song i am and it said "your a concrete boy now" and i never heard of that title before!!
'But it must be said again that all us boys are just screaming

I'm falling apart to songs about hips and hearts'
^ ^ They're just such smartarse lyrics. I love them!!
Some time before From Under the Cork Tree was to be released (and therefore before Fall Out Boy reached fame), the album leaked. One of the songs on the album was, "You're a Concrete Boy Now (Do Your Part to Save the Scene and Stop Going to Shows)." When the official, hard copy of the album was released in stores, the first part of the title had been changed to "Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying." The part in parentheses remained the same.
Just a working title for the song that was ultimately changed.
Being an Overcast Kid doesn't mean shit, but it's always nice to be a part of something, isn't it?
And just because some of you may have been with the band since the beginning ALSO doesn't mean shit.
Hell, someone who discovered the band only, say, a year ago could be one of the biggest fans you will ever come across.
So that's to say, I agree with grenade_jumper 100%.
I've been with FOB for the past nearly five years.
Since Evening Out with Your Girlfriend.
And I'm an OCK as well.
But I didn't feel the need to show off my google skills.
kthxbye ;]
