[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
Hands up, ready for the boom
Never mind the rocket launcher, talking 'bout a tune
You can hear us comin' with the zoom
Listen to the "Boom, boom," we are breaking through

[Verse 1: Patrick Stump, Wyclef Jean & Both]
We prepared for the turbulence
But there's no preparing for this
Got paid on Tuesday, but I'm still broke when the weekend ends
Another trip around the sun, it was a good run
Just mixing all of my prescriptions with my problems
Yeah, streets are full of seasons
Saw what they did to Jesus
Dude'll kill you for no reason, and charge you for treason
I know this one for a fact
My phone, they got it on tap
'Cause every time I'm talkin' I can hear them in the back (Hands up)

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
Hands up, ready for the boom
Never mind the rocket launcher, talking 'bout a tune
You can hear us comin' with the zoom
Listen to the "Boom, boom," we are breaking through
Hands up, ready for the boom
Never mind the rocket launcher, talking 'bout a tune
You can hear us comin' with the zoom
Listen to the "Boom, boom," we are breaking through

[Post-Chorus: Wyclef Jean]
She winin' like she losing her mind, yeah
She winin' like she losing her mind, yeah
She winin' like she losing her mind, yeah
She's winin' like she losing her mind
Knock, knock, knock, knock, who is it? (Hands up)

[Verse 2: Patrick Stump]
She said this is a surprise visit
It's my fantasy, I'm gon' live it
Hands up, and don't you refuse it
I wanna tattoo you on me
Just look what you created
Dear future self, I hope it's going well
I'm drunk on cheap whiskey in an airport hotel, yeah

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
Hands up, ready for the boom
Never mind the rocket launcher, talking 'bout a tune
You can hear us comin' with the zoom
Listen to the "Boom, boom," we are breaking through
Hands up, ready for the boom (Hands up, hands up)
Never mind the rocket launcher, talking 'bout a tune (Talking 'bout, talking 'bout)
You can hear us comin' with the zoom (You can hear us comin' with the)
Listen to the "Boom, boom," we are breaking through

[Post-Chorus: Patrick Stump & Wyclef Jean, Wyclef Jean, Patrick Stump]
She winin' like she losing her mind, yeah
(Hands up, hands up, hands up)
She winin' like she losing her mind, yeah
(Hands up, hands up, hands up)
She winin' like she losing her mind, yeah
(Hands up, hands up, hands up)
She's winin' like she losing her mind
(Hands up, hands up, hands up)
Knock, knock, knock, knock, who is it?

[Outro: Patrick Stump]
(Hands up)
You can hear us comin' with the zoom
Listen to the "Boom, boom," we are breaking through
Hands up, ready for the boom
Never mind the rocket launcher, talking 'bout a tune (Never mind the, yeah)
You can hear us comin' with the zoom
Listen to the "Boom, boom," we are breaking through

Fall Out Boy is an American rock band hailing from Wilmette, Illinois. The band was formed in 2001 by Pete Wentz, who supplies bass and lyrics to the band, and guitarist Joe Trohman, who both used to be part of metalcore band Arma Angelus. Trohman later recruited vocalist Patrick Stump, who initially tried out as the band’s drummer, after meeting him in a bookstore. After the release of Project Rocket/Fall Out Boy, a split EP with Project Rocket. It was recorded without current drummer Andy Hurley due to him being disinterested in the project; Hurley later joined in 2003 as a replacement touring drummer.

Fueled By Ramen, who were a small independent label at the time, personally called Fall Out Boy to ask them to record a full-length record after hearing one of their demos online. This album became their 2003 debut, Take This To Your Grave, and was a tipping point between the band’s underground success to success in the mainstream. It was the band’s last album to feature Stump as the lead lyricist.

The band’s 2004 acoustic EP, My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue, became their first charting release and gave fans a taste of what to expect on their sophomore album From Under The Cork Tree. The album creation was set back in February 2005 after Wentz’s suicide attempt, which influenced songs such as “7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen).” The album was released in May 2005 through Island Records, featuring guest vocals from William Beckett of The Academy Is… and Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco.
