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

[00:09.65] I am an arms dealer fitting you with weapons in the form of words
[00:18.96] And (don't really care which side wins)
[00:23.82] As long as the room keeps singing that's just the business I'm in
[00:28.65] This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[00:33.63] This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[00:38.32] This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[00:43.14] I'm not a shoulder to cry on, but I digress
[00:47.90] I'm a leading man
[00:50.10] And the lies I weave are, oh, so intricate
[00:53.81] Oh, so intricate
[00:57.42] I'm a leading man
[00:59.63] And the lies I weave are, oh, so intricate
[01:03.59] Oh, so intricate
[01:09.68] I wrote the gospel on giving up
[01:12.77] (You look pretty sinking)
[01:14.25] But the real bombshells have already sunk (prima-donnas of the gutter)
[01:18.90] At night we're painting your trash gold, while you sleep
[01:23.33] Crashing not like hips or cars but more like p-p-p-parties
[01:28.84] This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[01:33.56] This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[01:38.29] This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[01:43.18] Bandwagon's full, please catch another
[01:47.90] I'm a leading man
[01:49.99] And the lies I weave are, oh, so intricate
[01:53.86] Oh, so intricate
[01:57.54] I'm a leading man
[01:59.69] And the lies I weave are, oh, so intricate
[02:03.49] Oh, so intricate
[02:07.39]
[02:11.62]
[02:27.03] All the boys who the dancefloor didn't love
[02:30.30] And all the girls whose lips couldn't move fast enough
[02:33.36] Sing until your lungs give out
[02:36.19] This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[02:40.87] This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[02:45.09] (Now you) this ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[02:49.54] (Wear out the groove)
[02:50.70] This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[02:54.61] (Sing out loud)
[02:55.69] This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[02:59.61] (Oh, oh) this ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[03:04.72] I'm a leading man
[03:06.80] And the lies I weave are, oh, so intricate
[03:10.63] Oh, so intricate
[03:14.25] I'm a leading man
[03:16.40] And the lies I weave are, oh, so intricate
[03:20.22] Oh, so intricate
[03:25.45]
