I am an arms dealer   Fitting you with weapons in the form of words   And I 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 god damn arms race   This ain't a scene, it?s a god damn arms race   This ain't a scene, it?s a god damn 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   (Prima donnas of the gutter)   At night we're painting your trash gold while you sleep   Crashing not like hips or cars   No, more like p-p-p-parties      This ain't a scene, it?s a god damn arms race   This ain't a scene, it?s a god damn arms race   This ain't a scene, it?s a god damn arms race   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      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 god damn arms race   This ain't a scene, it?s a god damn arms race   (Now you)   This ain't a scene, it?s a god damn arms race   (Wear out the groove)   This ain't a scene, it?s a god damn arms race   (Sing out loud)   This ain't a scene, it?s a god damn arms race   (Oh, oh)   This ain't a scene, it's a god damn 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
