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

[00:09.68] I am an arms dealer fitting you with weapons in the form of words
[00:19.08] And (don't really care which side wins)
[00:23.86] As long as the room keeps singing that's just the business I'm in
[00:28.74] This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[00:33.83] This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[00:38.84] This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[00:43.87] I'm not a shoulder to cry on, but I digress
[00:48.45] I'm a leading man
[00:50.49] And the lies I weave are, oh, so intricate
[00:51.78] Oh, so intricate
[00:55.33]
[00:57.73] I'm a leading man
[00:59.86] And the lies I weave are, oh, so intricate
[01:04.10] Oh, so intricate
[01:07.50]
[01:09.87] I wrote the gospel on giving up
[01:13.48] (You look pretty sinking)
[01:14.52] But the real bombshells have already sunk (prima-donnas of the gutter)
[01:19.78] At night we're painting your trash gold, while you sleep
[01:23.31] Crashing not like hips or cars but more like p-p-p-parties
[01:28.75] This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[01:33.75] This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[01:38.75] This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[01:43.58] Bandwagon's full, please catch another
[01:48.37] I'm a leading man
[01:50.44] And the lies I weave are, oh, so intricate
[01:54.47] Oh, so intricate
[01:57.77] I'm a leading man
[02:00.08] And the lies I weave are, oh, so intricate
[02:04.03] Oh, so intricate
[02:07.40]
[02:27.34] All the boys who the dancefloor didn't love
[02:30.48] And all the girls whose lips couldn't move fast enough
[02:33.37] Sing until your lungs give out
[02:36.32] 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
[02:45.62] (Now you) this ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[02:50.06] (Wear out the groove)
[02:51.21] This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[02:54.87] (Sing out loud)
[02:56.24] This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[02:59.77] (Oh, oh) this ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[03:05.16] I'm a leading man
[03:07.11] And the lies I weave are, oh, so intricate
[03:10.89] Oh, so intricate
[03:14.84] I'm a leading man
[03:16.93] And the lies I weave are, oh, so intricate
[03:20.67] Oh, so intricate
[03:21.92]
