[Instrumental Intro]

[Intro]
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, whoa oh oh ohh
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, whoa oh oh ohh

[Verse 1]
Life's just a pace-car on death, only less diligent
And when the two collide, it's no coincidence
The lights are on and everybody's home
Uh, uh, uh uh
The only thing suicidal here is the doors
We had a good run, even I have to admit
Life's just a pace-car on death
Only less diligent

[Chorus]
Hell or glory, I don't want
Anything in between, then came a
Baby boy with long eyelashes
And daddy said, "you gotta show the world the thunder"
Whoa oh oh, the thunder
Whoa oh oh, the thunder
Whoa oh oh, the thunder
Whoa oh oh oh ooh ooh ooh

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, whoa oh oh ohh
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, whoa oh oh ohh

[Verse 2]
We didn't come to compete, this is a demonstration
Even the young ones become irrelevant
They always bring up how you've changed
Oh, oh
Never the same person when I go to sleep
As when I wake up, as when I wake up
Bop bop ba dop, ba dop op ba dop
Ba dop op ba dop, ba dop op ba dop, yeah!

[Chorus]
Hell or glory, I don't want
Anything in between, then came a
Baby boy with long eyelashes
And daddy said, "you gotta show the world the thunder"
Whoa oh oh, the thunder
Whoa oh oh, the thunder
Whoa oh oh, the thunder
Whoa oh oh oh oh ohh

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, whoa oh oh ohh
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, whoa oh oh ohh

[Chorus]
Hell or glory, I don't want
Anything in between, then came a
Baby boy with long eyelashes
And daddy said, "you gotta show the world the thunder"
Whoa oh oh, the thunder
Whoa oh oh, the thunder
Whoa oh oh, the thunder
Whoa oh oh ohh, he said "bring the thunder!"
Whoa oh oh, the thunder
Whoa oh oh, the thunder
Whoa oh oh oh oh...

[Instrumental Outro]

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.
