Fall Out Boy – The Phoenix Lyrics 10 years ago
Put on your war paint ( A war is beginning)

You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down
Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground ( If you start a fight will fight back harder)
We are the jack-o-lanterns in July setting fire to the sky
Here, here comes this rising tide, so come on ( We're coming back )

Put on your war paint

Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies
Silver clouds with grey linings

So we can take the world back from a heart attack
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart ( do what you want even if its alone)

Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix ( To all the new "punk rock" bands we're gonna show you how its done.)
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me ( Fall out boy and Fall out boy fans are considered "emo" and now there's the new black wearing bands. And in a funny way the say we pull it off better.)
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Bring home the boys and scrap scrap metal the tanks
Get hitched, make a career out of robbing banks
Because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks
"You broke our spirit," says the note we pass ( I think of the as they are the bank robbers wearing black ski masks and the world is the teller and they tell society they broke their sprits.)

So we can take the world back from a heart attack
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart

Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Put on your war paint

The war is won, before it's begun
Release the doves, surrender love ( their punk rock battle is a guaranteed win for them so just give up)

The war is won, before it's begun
Release the doves, surrender love

The war is won, before it's begun
Release the doves, surrender love

The war is won, before it's begun (Wave the white flag!)
Release the doves, surrender love

(Wave the white flag!) ( surrender )

Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Put on your war paint


In my personal opinion I think this is one of the greatest songs ever. Each time I listen I just feel so powerful.
