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, yeah

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

I wrote the gospel on giving up

(You look 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 hearts,

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

This 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

Yeah...

Whoa-oh

All the boys who the dance floor 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 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
