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 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 d*** arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a god d*** arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a god d*** 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 parties
This ain't a scene, it's a god d*** arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a god d*** arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a god d*** 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 d*** arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a god d*** arms race
(Now you)
This ain't a scene, it's a god d*** arms race
(Wear out the groove)
This ain't a scene, it's a god d*** arms race
(Sing out loud)
This ain't a scene, it's a god d*** arms race
(Oh, oh)
This ain't a scene, it's a god d*** 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
