Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  am an arms dealer,
 Fitting you with weapons  in the form of words.
 And  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,  yeah.
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 the girls who's 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.
