Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[PreChorus]

This ain't a scene, it's 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

[Chorus]

I'm a leading man

And the lies I weave are oh, so intricate (Do-do-do-do-do-do)

Oh, so intricate, yeah (Do-do-do-do-do-do)

I'm a leading man

And the lies I weave are oh, so intricate (Do-do-do-do-do-do)

Oh, so intricate, yeah (Do-do-do-do-do-do)

[Verse 2]

I wrote the gospel on giving up

You're looking 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

[PreChorus]

This ain't a scene, it's 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

[Chorus]

I'm a leading man

And the lies I weave are oh, so intricate (Do-do-do-do-do-do)

Oh, so intricate, yeah (Do-do-do-do-do-do)

I'm a leading man

And the lies I weave are oh, so intricate (Do-do-do-do-do-do)

Oh, so intricate, yeah (Do-do-do-do-do-do)

[PostChorus]

Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Do-do-do-do-do-do)

Woo

[Bridge]

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

[PreChorus]

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race (Now you)

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race (Wear out the groove)

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race (Sing out loud)

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race (Oh, oh)

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race

[Chorus]

I'm a leading man

And the lies I weave are oh, so intricate (Do-do-do-do-do-do)

Oh, so intricate, yeah (Do-do-do-do-do-do)

I'm a leading man

And the lies I weave are oh, so intricate (Do-do-do-do-do-do)

Oh, so intricate (Do-do-do-do-do-do)
