Panic! At The Disco - Crazy=Genius Lyrics






You can set yourself on fire
You can set yourself on fire

She said at night in my dreams
You dance on a tightrope of weird
Oh but when I wake up
You're so normal that you just disappear
You're so straight like commuters
With briefcases towing the line
There's no residue of a torturer
Inside of your eyes

She said you're just like Mike Love
But you wanna be Brian Wilson, Brian Wilson
She said you're just like Mike Love
But you'll never be Brian Wilson

And I said
Hey a-ay, hey a-ay
If crazy equals genius
Hey a-ay, hey a-ay
If crazy equals genius
Then I'm a fucking arsonist
I'm a rocket scientist
Hey a-ay, hey a-ay
If crazy equals genius

You can set yourself on fire, hey a-ay
But you're never gonna burn, burn, burn, hey a-ay
You can set yourself on fire, hey a-ay
But you're never gonna learn, learn, learn
Hey a-ay

She said, "Darlin', you know
How the wine plays tricks on my tongue
But you don't seem to change
When you stuff all of your feelings with drugs"
Other boys you may have dated
Serrated your heart with a slice
But the cut of your love never hurts
Baby, it's a sweet butter knife

She said you're just like Mike Love
But you wanna be Brian Wilson, Brian Wilson
She said you're just like Mike Love
But you'll never be Dennis Wilson

And I said
Hey a-ay, hey a-ay
If crazy equals genius
Hey a-ay, hey a-ay
If crazy equals genius
Then I'm a fucking arsonist
I'm a rocket scientist
Hey a-ay, hey a-ay
If crazy equals genius

You can set yourself on fire, hey a-ay
But you're never gonna burn, burn, burn, hey a-ay
You can set yourself on fire, hey a-ay
But you're never gonna learn, learn, learn
Hey a-ay

You can set yourself on fire
You can set yourself on fire
You can set yourself on fire
You can set yourself on fire

And I said
Hey a-ay, hey a-ay
If crazy equals genius
Hey a-ay, hey a-ay
If crazy equals genius
Then I'm a fucking arsonist
I'm a rocket scientist
Hey a-ay, hey a-ay
If crazy equals genius

You can set yourself on fire, hey a-ay
But you're never gonna burn, burn, burn, hey a-ay
You can set yourself on fire, hey a-ay
But you're never gonna learn, learn, learn
Hey a-ay

  1. J.... e....

    Me: I feel so stressed with my studies, I need PATD

    "You can set yourself on fire."

    Gee thanks :'))

    J.... e....

    Yeah. :)

  2. J.... S....

    for the love of Gee Way, i just notice that the intro of this song sounds very similar as house of wolves, LOL.

  3. B.... ....

    Plot twist: genius = crazy

  4. k.... p....

    This but animated webtoon like stardust

  5. W.... S....

    Yeah, yeah, everyone is saying this could be a Disney villain song...
    but why is almost NOBODY talking about how FIRE the music itself is? It's a freaking bop. Reminds me of a score that belongs in the Cuphead soundtrack.

  6. R.... C....

    If Brendon were to be a disney villian,he would sing this

  7. U.... S....

    Second verse hinting at edge play





    Me: [°_°] DaDdY?

  8. a.... p....

    No como tusa que es mierda

  9. a.... p....

    Músicon conchasumarr

  10. R.... V....

    I'm smarter than Albert Einstein. Why cos I shot 3 schools then started a forest fire

  11. T.... ....

    This sounds 10x better in a car driving down the highway

  12. b.... b....

    As if I needed another reason to be the pyromaniac that I am... and then they go and make THIS amazing song! 😂

  13. R.... ....

    E crazy e coxinhas

  14. k.... ....

    Honestly I can imagine J.D singing this

  15. m.... ....

    You can set yourself on fire!

  16. A.... P....

    That relatable moment when your so normal that you basically disappear

  17. J.... B....

    Love u brendon urie

  18. D.... 4....

    This should be the new Rick and Morty theme 🤣

  19. L.... M....

    What no one in the comments have posted the lyrics? Okay.

  20. I.... A....

    I need more songs that sound like this with it's crazy jazz club music

  21. K.... R....

    I am crazy and im very intelligent

  22. T.... J....

    Let's face it, if crazy=genius, Florida would be ruling the world

  23. T.... J....

    Just an amazingly maniacal song
    I know it's already been mentioned but I only wish the profanity was removed to give it the perfect charismatic cartoon villain feel

  24. J.... C....

    If crazy=genius... then Ryan leaving Panic! must’ve been a really genius idea ;~;

  25. M.... T....

    Please tell me ,I am not the only one who sees the drawing over the pool and Brendon moving .

    M.... T....

    You’re not

  26. K.... L....

    Yep, I'm back here

  27. N.... ....

    Afraid to immerse myself in this sober...

  28. S.... 2....

    Is it just me or does this song just fit Leo Valdez , like his powers and his personality after all he said and I quote

    " I try not to think , it interferes with being nuts "

  29. G.... 0....

    0:31 "But you'll never be Ryan Ross-ing, Ryan Ross-ing

  30. A.... N....

    Im new with PATD...do I have one question...WHY DOESNT THIS HAVE A FRICKING MV??

    A.... N....

    Ambiverted Ninja I wish it did too but have no idea why it doesn’t.

    It’s not a music video but look up Crazy=Genius live drum battle. I think you’ll enjoy it.

  31. K.... S....

    crazy=genius then psycho= Stephen Hawking then I must = wait...theres nothing smart enough to equal how fucked up I am :)

  32. M.... ....

    "you can set yourself on fire"


    ... I wouldn't advise that.

    M.... ....

    i would

  33. A.... ....

    (SPOILER ABOUT LORD OF THE RINGS)
    as someone who recently finished reading lotr, when i hear the line "you can set yourself on fire" all i can think about is Denethor setting himself on fire. and i go "well he burned."

  34. E.... M....

    I feel a lot of the people here misunderstood the point entire point of the song, but I'm not sure why

  35. b.... 9....

    💙💚💛💜

  36. l.... c....

    YOU CAN SET YOURSELF ON FIRE!!!!!!

  37. L.... M....

    Sceeeeeeeeech! Love this song :3

  38. E.... L....

    last time i checked this had only 3 million views.. 🧐

  39. D.... V....

    Other than Harry Potter in the green fireplace flames

  40. D.... V....

    How you set your self on fire without being on fire

  41. B.... T....

    *you can set yourself on fire, but your never gonna burn*

    Nice logic, almost as good as:

    *I’m all dressed up and naked*

  42. C.... D....

    This was the first song i heard from panic at the disco and my all time favorite no matter how many songs I hear

  43. �.... �....

    Тут есть русские?:)))

  44. n.... ....

    that’s the roof he jumps off into his pool lmao

  45. R.... W....

    No Bryan Wilson... No Denis Wilson... Does that mean No Brendon Urie?

  46. C.... C....

    When the school shooter runs from you

  47. C.... C....

    When she tells you you're too normal for her...
    so you proved her wrong

  48. J.... G....

    Just saying, anytime someone makes fun of me for having a big forehead Im gonna say, "I'm sure that's what people said to Brendon Urie before he got famous"

  49. R.... N....

    PSA. Kids you shouldn't set yourself on fire. Instead try fire breathing.

  50. B.... Y....

    I usually tap my foot along to songs... This song gets my whole leg to vibrate.

  51. D.... M....

    Jeromes theme song

  52. M.... O....

    he said hes a arsonist and a rocket scientist so arsonist = rocket scientist

  53. E.... ....

    this reminds me of Stanford Pines from Gravity Falls

  54. A.... T....

    Brendon is somehow both a Disney villain and princess. Can we have a disney movie where it's just Brendon? Every character, every musical number?

  55. B.... P....

    I LOVE THIS SONG OMFG

  56. M.... R....

    Reminds me of Fairy Idol (Fairly Odd Parents)

  57. C.... V....

    CRAZY = GENUIS IS THE MODERN DAY VERSiON OF THERES A GOOD REASON THESE TABLES ARE NUMBERED, HONEY. YOU JUST HAVENT THOUGHT OF IT YET

  58. f.... ....

    I'm never going to burn? Now I feel like Swiper from Dora the Explorer after they say " Swiper no swiping."

  59. C.... A....

    well u dont seem to change when u stuff all youre feeling with drugs

  60. J.... B....

    Crazy COXINHAS

  61. D.... H....

    brendon: you can set yourself on fire...
    metals: actually, no-

  62. J.... ....

  72. R.... T....

    this song is the definition of all the oc's based off of me, crazy pyromaniacs that are actualy geniuses (well one of them that is)

  73. S.... W....

    This reminds me of a song Alastor from Hotel Hazbin would sing and dance to

  74. B.... A....

    🤪=🤓=crazy=genius

  75. m.... ....

    This is much better than they're new stuff if being honest. I never thought panic! At the Disco would do something for Disney a few years ago

  76. B.... W....

    If I did set myself on fire could I go to hell where Brendon is the devil please

  77. D.... P....

    bando de grigo n mandem corrnterio n mantem comenario pedindo ilike

  78. T.... D....

    AND I SAYYY

  79. l.... ....

    I LOVE THIS SONG

  80. I.... T....

    You can set yourself on fiiiirrreeee but you never going to learn learn learn

  81. H.... O....

    Could totally see this song as a big lipped alligator moment in a Disney movie.

  82. E.... D....

    HONESTLY THIS CONVINCES ME THAT BRENDON SHOULD BE A DISNEY VILLAN AND HE’D BE THE MOST FABULOUS ONE OUT THERE

    LIKE HE HAS THE POWER TO HYPNOTIZE THROUGH HIS SINGING AND LIKE HE HAS A TON OF MUSICAL NUMBERS AND THERE’S THESE GROUP OF METALHEAD TEENS WHO ARE MORE INTO GUITARS TRY TO FIGHT HIM WITH MAGIC GUITARS AND THERE’S THIS “GUITAR VS SINGING” WAR AND THEY BOTH GO IN HARMONY BECAUSE BRENDON REALIZES WHAT HE’S DOING AND FIGURES OUT THAT GUITARS AND SINGING GO *REALLY WELL*


    if he loses please don’t kill him disney
    maybe banish him to anti-forehead land or something
    but don’t kill him

  83. M.... ....

    Does anyone else get circus vibes?

  84. M.... V....

    Muito boa mesmo

    ouch my favorite song
