Fall Out Boy - Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying (Do Your Part To Save The Scene And Stop Going To Shows) Lyrics

Old FOB comment sections are so good I can’t even take time to read the whole song title

Pete Wentz poetry is awesome

Urnotjustin anyone?

Back into my FOB phase, ill never get out of it. Hoping I get to go see them in the Hella Mega Tour.

“Get busy living or get busy dying” is a quote from Stephen King’s short story “Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption,” but more widely known from the movie adaptation—simply titled The Shawshank Redemption.

This is officily the 24th longest song name ever.

Were singing this in my highschools play and i got cast as patrick so nervous 😬😬😬

Freaking love this song brooo.

why would not going to shows save the scene?

I don’t think these titles are meant to make sense lmao

I was the 1000th like and Im so fucking proud

Cuando mi amado FOB hacía música de calidad y con títulos más largos que tus ganas de vivir 😂

Like 15 years later and still one of the best songs ever.

This is so beautiful I'm actually crying
God help me. Fuckkkkk pete

But the fucking pOeM

when your song is based off a shawshank scene

Am I the only one who thinks that he sounds like Gerard Way at 2:22?

Takes me back down memory lane this whole album is my Sophomore year of HS in 2014/2015

Sophomore slump or comeback of the year?

Are you broken down on memory lane?

this song deserves better

holy fuck this song is so underrated. it sucks that they never did it live. this is literally the best and edgiest fall out boy song ever recorded.

I get tired just by reading the freaking title

Thankyou for making me physically cringe

lyrics:
[Verse 1: Patrick Stump]
This has been said so many times
That I'm not sure if it matters
But we never stood a chance
And I'm not sure if it matters


If you are the shores
I am the waves begging for big moons
I'm mailing letters to addresses in a ghost town, no
Your secret's out


[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
I know this hurts, it was meant to (It was meant to)
Your secret's out and the best part
Is it isn't even a good one
And it's mind over you don't, don't matter


[Verse 2: Patrick Stump]
This has been said so many times
That I'm not sure if it matters
But it must be said again
That all us boys are just screaming


Into microphones for attention
Because we're just so bored
We never knew that you would pick it apart, oh
I'm falling apart to songs about hips and hearts
Your secret's out


[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
I know this hurts, it was meant to (It was meant to)
Your secret's out and the best part
Is it isn't even a good one
And it's mind over you don't, don't matter


[Bridge: Patrick Stump & Pete Wentz, both]
I used to obsess over living
Now I only obsess over you
Tell me you'd like boys like me better
In the dark lying on top of you


This has been said so many times
That I'm not sure if it matters
This has been said so many times
That I'm not sure if it matters


This has been said so many times
That I'm not sure if it matters
This has been said so many times
That I'm not sure if it matters


[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
I know this hurts, it was meant to (It was meant to)
Your secret's out and the best part
Is it isn't even a good one
And it's mind over you don't, don't, don't, don't matter

broooo this is still so underrated wtf? its amazing

FOB was better when their song titles were obscenely long

These guys could write a book if they wanted to lol

My damned mind added "by Panic!at the Disco " much too quickly.

Zonefire 15 Pete already wrote a book

By Panic! At The Disco.

But, um, Pete, this ain't a scene…IT'S A JOSH DUN ARMS RACE

**gives award for best comment** you deserve this

Fall Out Boy: **Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying (Do Your Part To Save The Scene And Stop Going To Shows) comes out**
Panic! At The Disco: ...

billie average joe armstrong other way sweetheart

did you just northern downpour me what the frick

They had "Our Lawyer made us change the name of this song so we wouldn't get sued" and "I slept with someone in Fallout Boy and all I got was this stupid song written about me" on the same album. They were going all out on song titles.

FOB actually helped P!@TD become a band back when I was a kid rip

Come on, “There’s a good reason these tables are numbered, honey. You just haven’t thought of it yet.”

Why is this song so underrated. I love it so much

1:52 favorite part tbh

Okay, this song is actually pretty good, I miss the old Fall Out Boy, they were so much more rock now their so much more pop just like Panic! At The Disco and Paramore, they all changed at the same time.....?

because they're all on the same label and they realized they could make more money doing pop. The only good thing is that the new paramore album is actually very good, with a lot of influence from 80's disco and bands like the talking heads and blondie. as a like long paramore fan i genuinely think after laughter might be their best album.

@walking mammoth true

At least Paramore is still amazing. After Laughter was beautiful!! Panic!'s last album SUCKED. I tried to like it, believe me.

I thought that After Laughter was actually farther from the mainstream than before.

Because Rock/Metal/Emo died in 2011. MCR broke up around the same time too. Record labels were forcing the artists to add more and more pop influence to the music to sell records and they killed the genre.
