Lyrics for This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race as interpreted by woulduhvtheguts

This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race Lyrics
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 digress

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

I wrote the gospel on giving up (and looking pretty sinking)
But the real bombshells have already sunk (primadonnas 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 the leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate
I'm the leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate

All the boys who the dancefloor 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 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
(Wear Out The Groove)
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
(Sing Out Loud)
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
(Oh,oh)
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race

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

look here bluechickengirl, you may be older but the fact that you listen to this particular band makes you music choice inferior, fallout boy have no talent whatsoever, their riffs aren't original or complex, just regular boring riffs you can hear in almost every modern rock band nowadays, what makes them more popular? what makes them more deserving of praise than others? their lyrics aren't genius either, any smart-ass could write stuff like that, i suggest you take another good look at them and you'll see an overpraised egocentric talentless bunch of so called artists and the worst thing is they actually know how bad they are yet they act all sracastic about it

they admit how unoriginal they are "At night we're painting your trash gold, while you sleep"
in other words: we're making millions out of playing crap songs just cause we jumped on the bandwagon on time

and i didn't classify FOB, the suchahero guy started talking about emo, so i just had to sock it to him as he doesn't know shit about what emo is in the first place, i know fob don't classify themselves, they have diverse genres, but their songs are weak and easily get boring

don't take personally buddy, the band isn't that good, and they're getting more attention than they deserve, it's the truth

B12, I'd appreciate it if you'd learn English and make a mental note I'm not a 'son'. I'm very much a girl and I have a lot to say everytime I write. They didnt write anything about not liking their own music. FOB may be categorized by other people but not by themselves. They, like any band, does not want to be catergorized because they try to do their own thing. FOB is different and admirably arent afraid to take risks. You're also an idiot and obviously younger then me mentally (making you therefore immature) if you classify your own bands that you love so dearly.

luvmusic19, bless you, doll. You're attempting to shut up those who dont know their head from their ass but it's no use. I've been trying but they like making idiots out of themselves. Also, sweets, go check out their very first album. i recommend Grand Theft Autumn. My fave song by them.

I like this song alot. I think too many people are just throwing that emo word out there. Oh this is emo, that is so emo. Not everything is emo. Now it's so hard to even describe what is emo anymore when everyone is attacking everyone else, and saying well this song is emo therefore if you listen to it you must be emo and cut your wrists, blah blah blah. It's not all like that.

lol, bluechickenlover wrote a fucking essay to defend the band, what are you some kind of retard son?
you talking about freedom of speech? i give you freedom of speech! a band who states the fact that they don't like their own music and keep making it worse deserve to be shot, they're proud of being hypocrites, what kind of dickhead would be like that? if they were really in it for the money they could've kept their hypocrisy for themselves, but these guys are just in it for the fame and causing some sort of "revolution", they should pack up and leave the scene before they take another turn for the worst

btw, this is NOT catchy, it's horrible =\

Ok, isjustjd, I'd like to take this chance to one again state that I am almost 19 years old, I've heard all of FOB's music, I also listen to music at other ends of the rock spectrum such as Mayhem and Venom. I know real music when I hear it. Everyone that wants to complain and say FOB is conforming to what the music industry wants needs to take a second look. They do all their own choice stuff. In fact, in this song - had you bothered to analyze it yourself instead of coming to trash the band - you'd see they were talking about the music industry and other bands who only do their shit to be popular and fit in. FOB much prefers their old life to this and they'd be happy and content the rest of their lives if all they did was play in those old basement shows. This song is catchy and I personally love it. My 30 yr old sister loves it as well. She's been around the block when it comes to music, obviously, so she knows what's good. You all need to stop bashing FOB and quit whining that they changed. They're still the same old FOB. They're just trying a new sound. It's always been a part of Patrick and they chose to release that part of him in this record. That is straight from their mouth. Get over it. It's not like they went through a full line-up change and lost their sounds completely. It's like Green Day. They have gone through tons of various sounds but still rocked the entire 20+ years and always will rock. Anyone who thinks different is on the "bandwagon" headed for a cliff. Green Day isnt a fad and if FOB can help it, neither are they to their fans. Only true FOB fans understand this about them and will be sticking by them until the end. Thank god for freedom of speech!!!

this song upsets me. This is what money does to sweet bands. It make them losers.
All of thier old crap, they knew what the were doing.
They were upbeat, put thier drives into it, and they used thier instruments to much greater levels: pro.
Now, they fit the dying artist scheme of what most people "want" to hear (as found by corprate reasearch done by people who dont even care for music). If you are a new listener, listen to thier old stuff. I miss the old fallout boy!!!

emo is over. not that it was cool while it was in. you guys suck. its bands like fallout boy that ruined the genre. personally, i never liked emo, but at least it was respectable before all this shit and before it became "trendy".

DAMN IT! I still haven't got to hear this song. >:o I've only heard that tiny...like...5 second clip from some tv commercial. BUT!! It sounds AWESOME based on the lyrics and what I previously heard from that pathetically short clip from that bloody commercial (I understand they only have about 30 sec for the thing though...) =P
