This Ain’t a Scene, It’s an Arms Race Lyrics

I chime in with a
"Haven′t you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality
But this ain′t that song, and this ain't that band
And this ain't a scene, it′s a goddamn arms race

I am an arms dealer
Fitting you with weapons in the form of words
And don′t really care which side wins
Long as the room keeps singing
That's just the business I′m in, yeah

This ain't a scene, it is a goddamn arms race
This ain′t a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
This ain′t a scene, it's a goddamn 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 (do-do-do-do-do)
Oh, so intricate, yeah (do-do-do-do-do-do)
I′m a leading man
The lies I weave are, oh, so intricate (do-do-do-do-do)
So intricate, yeah (do-do-do-do-do-do)

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 is a goddamn arms race
This ain't a scene, it′s a goddamn arms race
This ain't a scene, it′s a goddamn arms race
Bandwagon's full, please catch another

I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are, oh, so intricate (do-do-do-do-do)
So intricate, yeah (do-do-do-do-do-do)
I′m a leading man
The lies I weave are, oh, so intricate (do-do-do-do-do)
So intricate (do-do-do-do-do-do)

Yeah
Whoa, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

All the boys the dance floor didn′t love, put your hands up
All the girls who couldn't get fast enough
Sing ′til your lungs give out

'Cause this ain′t a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
This ain′t a scene, it's a goddamn arms race (oh, yeah)
This ain't a scene, it′s a goddamn arms race
This ain′t a scene, it's a god-, sing out loud
(This ain′t a scene, it's a goddamn arms race)
(This ain′t a scene) oh, it's a goddamn arms race

I′m a leading man
And the lies I weave are, oh, so intricate (do-do-do-do-do)
So intricate, yeah (do-do-do-do-do-do)
I'm a leading man
The lies I weave are, oh, so intricate (do-do-do-do-do)
So intricate, yeah-yeah-yeah (do-do-do-do-do-do)
