The (Shipped) Gold Standard Lyrics

Lyric discussion by bpizzle74 

Cover art for The (Shipped) Gold Standard lyrics by Fall Out Boy

so i know pete writes all the songs for the band, but parts of this one made me think of patrick stump, for example

Sometimes i want to quit this all and become an accountant now but I'm no good at math and besides the dollar is down

it was made public in a recent blender magazine that patrick had contemplated going solo and quitting the band, also heres another

All the 'yes' men said "no comment" my mouth got goin' the wrong way and all the calls got to know when the time my dad caught me a horse shoe crab and I asked him if throwing it back into the sea would bring our luck back

i know patrick has had run ins with the press and media, asking why it always has to be about pete, i dunno if its jokingly or not, so maybe it was written from the bands point of view, im no expert or nething, jus some things that stood out to me!
