Novocaine Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Emarthepaladin 

Cover art for Novocaine lyrics by Fall Out Boy

This is either my 2nd or 3rd favourite song on the album. I think the lyrics indicate a sickness and greed in the music / entertainment industry.

Cast them out 'cause this is our culture These new flocks are nothing but vultures

Because they took our love and they filled it up Filled it up with novocaine and now I'm just numb

Take this sideshow and all its freaks And turn it into the silver screen dream

I said one day the valley's gonna swallow me whole And I feel like a photo that's been overexposed

Those lines all make it pretty clear to me.

My Interpretation
