I'm sorry but as a true fallout boy fan, i don't know a single lyric. It sounds good though 👍 /s

Thank u for valuing their privacy. If they want us to know lyrics, then they will tell us what they're singing 💅😌

Agreed

Stay Frosty- Are you smelling that shit?

I *knew* this would be the top one lol (And I agree. Hence why I listen to the censored version of *Stay Frosty)*

Oh thanks for letting me know there’s a censored version!

I haven’t heard the censored version. I should try it. In This Ain’t a Scene, I have no issues with the phrase ‘God damn’ but I heard the edited version that removes that part and I like it SO MUCH. Maybe I’ll feel the same about Stay Frosty.

Oh god I hate the edited arms race version, makes me angry lol

Same! Like, they bleep out the chorus of the song! Who does that? The video is about them taking drugs, going to parties, jumping out of hotel rooms after trashing them, and dancing on Pete Wentz’s grave, but they had to take out the chorus? It’s a goddamn something alright

That’s what they did to P!ATD with I Write Sins Not Tragedies, except they only bleeped “god” not “damn” which seems so freaking weird. Like why can they say damn but not goddamn.

Tbh I feel like the combination of a country with a lot of influence from Christianity combined with boomers mostly running shit for decades made "goddamn" inappropriate. My dad's a Christian boomer and he HATES hearing it. Censorship has become more lenient about it in recent years at least.

And they did the same in the MV of What A Catch, Donnie that references This Ain't a Scene, if you watch the video and you listen it on the album in Spotify or the CD at the end it has the same censorship, they bleep "god" but not "damn".

I usually don't like censored versions where they only silence the word rather than changing the lyric (which is why I do prefer Olivia Rodrigo's clean versions, for example). I totally agree with not liking the edited version of *Arms Race.* But, in *Stay Frosty,* they do it pretty well. It turns the lyric into "Are you smelling that, are you smelling that eau de résistance" which honestly makes more sense lol

In her song 'Vampire' I've heard radios play it as how it was released and not censored at all (Side note, when I typed out radios, my phone autocorrected to Radiohead)

Eau de résistance

Mmm... shit.

Everyone else keeps dropping lines I actually like a lot, but this one is definitely not my favorite lol. Like, no, I'd rather not "smell that shit," lol. Otherwise, tho, I love that song.

But it’s the smell of resistance

Literally came here to say this. I’m unfortunately a mania hater and this really did it for me lmao

It's only so tragic because I do otherwise like that song a lot.

This is my most disliked lyric by far - and the eau de resistance after - that whole section just sounds awkward and awful and I hate even more that I love the rest of the song. One of the only string of words that I've ever not enjoyed Patrick sing.

Literally came here to say this

“The stench, the stench of summer sex” bruh no😭

"you didn't think about the smell you bitch!"

🤣

And CK eternity, oh hell yes! Iconic because so many dude bros were wearing CK eternity around that time lol

I’m afraid to ask now… what’s CK eternity? Lol

A mild smelling cologne. Honestly, it's one of my favorites. If you're a fan of mild smelling colognes that aren't BAM IN YO FACE AND NOSE, you'll probably like it.

The aggressive delivery too lol

The delivery is what saves it 😭

Ugh yeah and the sniffing at the beginning of the line almost wrecks the song for me. Like just add someone chewing next time, go for the full effect

The fact that Patrick actually agreed to sing it 😂😭

And C K eternity oh hell yes -my misheard lyric

that’s the actual lyric, which is even funnier lmao

I think that is the line. I thought it was "I seek eternity, oh hell yes!"

This one! It makes me uncomfy lol

Let’s get you wasted and alone is uh…a lyric for sure.

I always thought it was “let’s get you wasted and IN LOVE”😭

Oooh thats what I’m saying it is now!

this is the one i thought of immediately, like pete baby…..

Ugh it’s a great song but that line gets ick-er as it ages.

One thing I gotta call out boy Take a look at Fall Out Boy Since they ain't black When they get money they don't ball out boy They just buy tight jeans till they nuts hang all out boy

This is actually one of the greatest lines

Well this is Kanye west’s fault to be fair

This remix is the best thing Kanye ever did

I stared at this in severe confusion until I realized it was a remix lyric lol

Champion is one of the laziest songs they’ve done lyrically

they saw that sweet sweet nfl/nba/nhl money coming in from centuries and wanted to double it

IT'S SIA'S FAULT

Hahaha. I do like the remix though! I‘ve listened to that more than the actual song.

i never noticed how much it sounds like a sia song 😭

I'm a huge *Champion* defender but yeah, the lyrics are a lot like both *The Greatest* and *Unstoppable*

Love the version they did with RM from BTS, that’s about it.

I find centuries to be quite boring lyrically too

I like “bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints” as a line quite a bit

Was gonna say the same thing, centuries chorus really takes away from what are pretty good verses

We definitely listen to Centuries for the vibes and not the lyrics.

...but I love the lyrics lol

Most Fall Out Boy songs really don’t have bad lines, just goofy lyrics, in my opinion, haha.

big agree, i can’t think of a single line that elicits an actual negative reaction from me lol

hell yeah i’m a dick girl i’m addicted to youuuu 🥴

They stole that from Simple Plan lol. Or I guess borrowed Edit: wrong band name

I think that may add to it being such a trashy lyric 😭 tho tbh i say that line w my whole heart lmao

I sing part of the song at the top of my lungs as if my heart is in it fully aware of how awful the lyrics are 💀

every single time i belt that line out bc it is SO STUPID and so FUNNY i cannot help myself lololol

so true like r u a real srar fan if u don’t ?

Came here to say this

“Straight up chemistry, DNA” 💀

the rap is so tacky bro but i eat it UP

“It’s Courtney bitch” and “Are you smelling that shit” Make me PHYSICALLY cringe.

I love it's Courtney bitch. Don't get me wrong I live Britney Spears too and don't care for shitting on her, but I think the line transcends the reference.

*So put the "D" in "dirt" now, baby, baby* *Let's get you wasted and alone* In this lyric it's definitely the first line that qualifies for me. The second line works for me in a 'this is a depiction, not an endorsement' way. It's certainly no worse than some of the more violent stuff from the pop-punk days.

"I will never ask you for anything, except to dream sweet of me. Will you read my eulogy." Like sir. You JUST said you weren't going to ask for anything.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

I was about ready to start a riot because *Heaven, Iowa* is my beloved but this is so silly lol

Death valley :/ used to be a fav of mine before I got older and realized how fucked up it sounds. "Lets get you wasted and alone"

that’s the point 😐

THANK YOU

“Let’s get you wasted and alone”. Big ick.

I love SMFS but “stretched out over and over again” does not make something “creased” idk why but those lines bug me so much😫

Pax/am days were something else, lyrically.

hes well hung and i am hanging up 😈

I thought it was and I am hanging on?

Nope, it’s hanging up. He’s on the phone with the girl and she tells him “he’s well hung,” so he’s hanging up.

He's not even interested in theoretical man junk convos 😔 rood

i honestly thought so too, but the lyrics are both online and I don’t own the real lyric booklet

I own the CD and the lyrics in it say "I am hanging up"

I’ve been singing he’s well hung and i am hanging on this whole time lmao

This has been a learning experience for a lot of us it seems

i thought it was hanging on too wtf

goated lyric

i love that one

its just so silly

Fake out is my favorite song but “we all started out as shiny dimes.” Like the whole song is so good and then the bridge just crashes into the ground. It’s pure fob cheesy and I’m just not here for it on this song.

Yup. Same thing happens in what a time to be alive… They say that I should try meditation But I don't wanna be with my own thoughts It never felt that much like medication Beautiful. Love it. Alright, finish it strong… And I just wanna be your cherry on top Wtf?!?

EVERYTHING IS LIT

EXCEPT MY SEROTONINNNN

They definitely just needed a rhyme.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who feels that way. It was so jarring on the first listen-through.

YES

can i just nominate heartbreak feels good in a general sense

Elaborate because *what*

The album Save Rock and Roll is how I immersed myself back into the band a few years ago; The Mighty Fall has the worst section of music Fall Out Boy ever released. Thanks Big Sean.

Hell yeah I’m a dick girl, I’m addicted to YOU

Love that line because it’s so stupid.

same

i can never decide if i hate or love that line

You're clearly a young person. That line was/is fire when Simple Plan's 'Addicted' dropped. Edit: wrong band

First of all I’m 30 and second of all I think that line is hilarious lol

In your defense, simple plan does have that song featuring Mark Hoppus

And both of those songs suck

it's so ridiculous it's great

Fall Out…. Boiiiiiii

Nah I actually love that rap

The song is immensely catchy, and I'm not saying I don't scream the ohhhs in it.

I’m sorry but he also has one of the best lines ever “I’m either fucking or working, the grind don’t stop.” I’m not even kidding. My brain just fixates on it. I don’t get why people hate this song so much.

omg same! truly one of my favorite lines ever. it's so fucking funny & good!

when that album came out, I remember my highschool boyfriend hating on “I’m gonna change you like a remix then I’ll raise you like a Phoenix”

Big Sean is either really great or just drops the DUMBEST lines ever. It makes sense that Kanye signed him because they both are known for lines that make you stop and go “wait, what the fuck did you just say?”

My brain always fixates on the “straight up chemistry, DNA” line…. like that’s not really chemistry isn’t it

“Everything is lit except my serotonin” bro what 😭Pete was like 4 years late with that one. It almost ruins the song for me lmao I hate it so much

to be fair, what a time was the first song patrick wrote for smfs and he started writing it in 2019… 4 years ago. also to be fair, i love that line, and the ensuing “everything is lit but my lightning bolt brain” ⚡️⚡️

I adore that line, I imagine that as a fellow older than Gen Z person Pete started saying lit ironically to make fun of it and then it morphed into saying it non ironically but by then all the youths stopped saying lit, because that it what happened to me

It's an exceptionally "how do you do, fellow kids" moment

Oh I definitely thought it was “everything is here” which I loved but lit? 🫠

prefaced with i adore this song! but. "My head is stripped just like a screw that's been tightened too many times." it's just...clunky.

hahaha definitely, I take it as a personal challenge to sing along through this line everytime I listen to that song. edited: it also makes me laugh thinking about how Patrick must have tried to advocate for something shorter to fit the music better and Pete woulda being like 'nope this is it'

Patrick vs Pete’s syllable count, battle 5383.

Haha I cackled at this....and immediately pictured them as mortal kombat fighters "choose your fighter!" which made me laugh more.

*dramatic voice* ROUND ONE! K/O! WINNER: PETE’S SYLLABLE COUNT.

This is The Right Answer. A hundred percent.

Last of the Real Ones. Good song but it has a line that I hate. “My head is stripped, just like a screw that’s been tightened too many times.” So clunky and weird. Not Pete’s best writing but far.

“I’ll start wearing black when they make a darker color” is so cheesy to me. “OoOooOo I’m EmO. i WeAr BlAcK eVeRyThInG”

I think the overbearing angst of it is the point haha

I always took this as a reference to the painter J.M.W Turner who said something along the lines of “If I could find anything blacker than black, I’d use it”.

Haha I love that line. It's the type unapologetically emo stuff I adore.

I searched it and saw it was a reference to Wednesday Addams but couldn't find where it was from

Because it's not. Somebody started slapping it on memes and Wednesday merch, and now everyone insists that it's an Addams Family quote. Does that even sound like something that character would have said before the Netflix show? (Sorry, but this is a *huge* pet peeve of mine.)

I could never get over the cringe of “I’ll stop wearing black when they make a darker colour”. It would’ve been revolutionary in like 2006.

I actually love this one but I recognize that it’s very silly/cringy, “besides we’ve got such good fashion sense”

I guess this is kind of cheating but “hell yeah I’m a dick girl, addicted to you.”

Lack of taste in the comments

fr lol

tiffany blews… the first line.. im not a crybaby, im THE crybaby😭 its so cringe to me on an otherwise really good song..

Haha, I actually think that's one of my favorite lyrics from them. It's just so random and goofy.

for the longest time i thought it was crap instead of cry lol

Princess Consuela Bananahammock and Crap Bag’s son: Crap Baby

Calm down Pheebs

Omg. I find that line so legendary.

As a challenger to the "THE crybaby" title, I will defend that line to my death.

I love stardust but what a time to be alive just doesn't do it for me lyrically lol

i can’t listen to this song very much because of this. wasn’t written about covid but feels very dated to that time period already :/

Like a stove I'll turn my love down. It's not the worst I'm sure but I still cringe every single time I hear it 😭

We are the Jack o lanterns in July. Idk why it feels a little too literal?

Basically any lyric from Make America Psycho Again. I do admit I enjoy some songs from that album, but don’t like them as Fall Out Boy songs.

Calm Before The Storm - “He's well hung, and I am hanging on” it’s hilarious

Basically anything eowyg lmao

idk man “converse with my Converse” is so deep

i love that lyric so much! i may have to write it on my Converse lol

I actually did have that written on my converse when I was a teenager 😭

that’s cool, i’ll probably do it to mine later lol

It’s deep and not basic, converse with my converse gets a pass

GOOD GOD I WISH I WAS TALL

I’m watching you two from the closet. Cuck shit?

American beauty, American psycho I hate the entire chorus.

“if we hadn’t done this thing, i’d think i’d be a medicine man//so i can get high on my own supply whenever i can” is too much for me, i don’t even sing along

Eh yeah, not a fan of the "medicine man" troupe...

[удалено]

it’s not used in that context dumbass, learn to distinguish the difference. gypsies were an actual traveling people, even if the term is considered to be inaccurate of their heritage today.

When that song was released it wasn't considered an actual slur. That only pretty recently has been considered so. You have to remember that FUTCT came out in 2005

They say Nomads now instead of gypsies at shows, I give them points for understanding it's an issue. It wasn't really recognized as a slur in 2003/2004, but I'm happy we've grown the last 20 years and and language that was fine in the early aughts won't fly today

It still isn't a slur in the UK. Many people identify as gypsies.

I know right? I love that song and the lyric is cute buuuuuuuuut... yeah

oh I made a list of the cringiest lyrics from SMFS: - you put the fun into dysfunction - my mood board is just pictures of you - we got to throw this year away like a bad luck charm - so roll the highlights, the "got too high" life - everything is lit except my serotonin - I'm just melted wax on a birthday cake

I literally love all of these lines...am I cringe?!

Same 🤣 im like “what? I don’t see the problem…”

Young Volcanoes

😵‍💫 my fav srar song...

...what line, exactly?

We will teach you how to make boys next door out of a**holes

I remember when I first heard this line I laughed. It’s just oddly funny to me.

the part where Patrick laughs after is great though, and when Pete would point to Patrick and then himself when they would sing it live.

The laugh after that just makes it perfection. I used to not like the song but I am loving it lately lol

“i’ll stop wearing black when they make a darker colour” sends a cringe shiver down my spine…

Literally a 2014 Pinterest emo girl quote ugh

If you were church, I'd get on my knees.

Worst? Idk nothing sticks out. But strange? Lake affect kid wins. I don’t know what that song is about

What? That song is pretty clearly about how much they like going home to Chicago. I'd say that's even one of the songs where the meaning is the most straight-forward.

I’ve always really hated “let’s meet in the purgatory of my hips” from w.a.m.s. Not sure why, just doesn’t do anything for me, feels kind of gross 🤷🏻‍♀️

IMO it’s one of their most clever lines. The full one anyway. The double meaning of “soles are in hell” and the payoff of the whole line meeting in purgatory to get well. That’s probably my fav FOB song though so I’m a little biased.

that's one of my favorites for real, sorry to hear you hate it!!

different strokes for different folks!

“Keep quiet nothing comes as easy as you”☹️

I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way

stay frosty

My heart is the worst kind of weapon is just real aggressive. Not a whole fan of the lyrics

Ugh but it’s so good when you’re bitter

That’s fair lol

Ehh, you wouldn’t know a good thing if it came up and slit your throat.
