This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race

[Verse 1:]
I am an arms dealer fitting you with weapons in the form of words
And (don't really care which side wins)
Long as the room keeps singing
That's just the business I'm in.

[Chorus 1:]
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.

[Post-Chorus:]
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate
I'm a leading man
And the lines I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate.

[Verse 2:]
I wrote the gospel on giving up (and looking 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.

[Chorus 2:]
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.

[Post-Chorus:]
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate
I'm a leading man
And the lines I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate.

[Bridge:]
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.

[Chorus 3:]
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.

[Post-Chorus:]
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate
I'm a leading man
And the lines I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate.
