[Intro: Jay-Z]
Yeah, what you critics said would never happen
We dedicate this album to anybody people said couldn't make it
To the fans that held us down 'til everybody came around
Welcome, it's here!

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Patrick Stump]
Last summer, we took threes across the board
But by fall, we were a cover story, "Now in stores!"

[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Stump]
Make us poster boys for your scene
But we are not making an acceptance speech
I found the safest place to keep all our old mistakes
Every dot com's refreshing for a journal update

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
So long live the car crash hearts, cry on the couch and
All the poets come to life, fix me in forty-five
So long live the car crash hearts, cry on the couch and
All the poets come to life, fix me in forty-five

[Verse 2: Patrick Stump]
I can take your problems away with a nod and a wave
Of my hand, 'cause that's just the kind of boy that I am

[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Stump]
The only thing I haven't done yet is die
And it's me and my plus one at the afterlife
Crowds are won and lost and won again
But our hearts beat for the diehards

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
So long live the car crash hearts, cry on the couch and
All the poets come to life, fix me in forty-five
So long live the car crash hearts, cry on the couch and
All the poets come to life, fix me in forty-five

[Bridge: Patrick Stump]
Long live the car crash hearts
(Long live the car crash hearts)
Long live the car crash hearts
(Long live the car crash hearts)

[Chorus: Patrick Stump, Jay-Z]
So long live the car crash hearts, cry on the couch and
All the poets come to life, fix me in forty-five, hehe, woo!

[Instrumental Outro]

[Outro: Jay-Z]
Young! FOB!
Let's go...

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.
