[Verse 1: Patrick Stump]
(Ghostbusters)
If there's something strange
In the neighborhood
Who you gonna call
(Ghostbusters)
If there's something weird
And it don't look good
Who can you call
(Ghostbusters)
I'm calling
I'm not afraid, not afraid
I'm not afraid, not afraid
I'm not afraid, not afraid

[Hook 1: Patrick Stump]
Uh, I'm not afraid
Who are you calling now?
Ca-calling now?
(Ghostbusters)
I'm not afraid, not afraid
I'm not afraid
Yeah, yeah
(Ghostbusters)

[Verse 2: Patrick Stump]
If you're seeing things
Running through your head
Who you gonna call
(Ghostbusters)
An invisible man
Sleeping in your bed
Oh, who you gonna call
(Ghostbusters)

[Hook 2: Patrick Stump]
I'm not afraid, not afraid
I'm not afraid, not afraid
I'm not afraid, not afraid
Uh, I'm not afraid
Who you gonna call?
(Ghostbusters)
If you're all alone
Pick up the phone and call
(Ghostbusters)

[Verse 3: Missy Elliot]
I can't sleep when I'm home alone
Night time my lights on
Woo, got me scared
Woo, and I need my bed
In my closet down the hall
I see shadows all on my wall
Man these monsters be big and tall
Ghostbusters, who you gon' call?
They roll up to my house, the knocking on my door
They come busting in, killing all the ghosts
It's so strange in my neighborhood
Look out the window and it ain't too good
I ain't afraid so let's get to it
Smoke these ghosts like backwoods

[Outro: Patrick Stump]
Listen, I'm not a- I'm not a-
I'm not afraid, not afraid
I'm not afraid, not afraid
Ooh, I'm not afraid, not afraid
Ooh, I'm not afraid
Now who you calling?
(Ghostbusters!)
Now who you calling out?
Now who you calling out?
Now who you calling?
(Ghostbusters!)
Now listen...
Bustin' makes me feel so
Bustin' makes me feel so
Bustin' makes me feel good!
I'm not afraid, not afraid
I'm not afraid, not afraid
I'm not afraid, not afraid
Ooh, I'm not afraid!
(Ghostbusters!)

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.
