[Intro]
The I.V. and your hospital bed
This was no accident, this was a therapeutic chain of events

[Verse 1]
This is the scent of dead skin on a linoleum floor
This is the scent of quarantine wings in a hospital
It's not so pleasant and it's not so conventional
It sure as hell ain't normal but we deal, we deal
The anesthetic never set in and I'm wondering where
The apathy and urgency is that I thought I phoned in
It's not so pleasant and it's not so conventional
And it sure as hell ain't normal but we deal, we deal

[Pre-Chorus]
Just sit back, just sit back
Just sit back and relax
Just sit back, just sit back
Just sit back and relapse again

[Chorus]
Can't take the kid from the fight, take the fight from the kid
Sit back, relax, sit back, relapse again (Ba-ba-ba-doh)
Can't take the kid from the fight, take the fight from the kid
Just sit back, just sit back

[Post-Chorus]
You're a regular decorated emergency
You're a regular decorated emergency

[Verse 2]
This is the scent of dead skin on a linoleum floor
This is the scent of quarantine wings in a hospital
It's not so pleasant and it's not so conventional
It sure as hell ain't normal but we deal, we deal
The anesthetic never set in and I’m wondering where
The apathy and urgency is that I thought I phoned in
It’s not so pleasant and it's not so conventional
It sure as hell ain't normal but we deal, we deal

[Chorus]
Can't take the kid from the fight, take the fight from the kid
Sit back, relax, sit back, relapse again (Ba-ba-ba-doh)
Can't take the kid from the fight, take the fight from the kid
Just sit back, just sit back

[Post-Chorus]
Sit back, sit back, relax, relapse
Sit back, sit back, ba-ba-ba-doh
You can't take the kid out of the fight

[Bridge]
You're a regular decorated emergency
The bruises and contusions
Will remind me what you did when you wake
You've earned your place atop the ICU's hall of fame
The camera caught you causing a commotion on the gurney again
You're a regular decorated emergency
The bruises and contusions
Will remind me what you did when you wake
You've earned your place atop the ICU's hall of fame
The camera caught you causing a commotion on the gurney again

[Chorus]
Can't take the kid from the fight, take the fight from the kid
Sit back, relax, sit back, relapse again (Ba-ba-ba-doh)
Can't take the kid from the fight, take the fight from the kid
Just sit back, just sit back

[Post-Chorus]
Sit back, sit back, relax, relapse
Sit back, sit back, ba-ba-ba-doh
You can't take the kid out of the fight

[Outro]
The I.V. and your hospital bed
This was no accident, this was a therapeutic chain of events

Named after a line from Name Taken’s “Panic,” Panic! at the Disco was formed by drummer Spencer Smith, bassist Brent Wilson, guitarist Ryan Ross, and vocalist Brendon Urie, and founded in 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada. While crafting pop-influenced songs with theatrical themes, quirky techno beats, and perceptive lyrics, they received some much-deserved attention.

They became the first group signed on Pete Wentz’s (bassist in Fall Out Boy) record label, Decaydance Records (now DCD2 Records). Their hit song that started it all, “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” remains one of their top two top forty songs along with “Hallelujah.”

They have released six studio A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, Pretty. Odd., Vices & Virtues, Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!, Death of a Bachelor, and now their most recent album Pray for the Wicked. These last two albums were actually solo projects from Brendon Urie, since all the other members of the band had already left the group before their release dates; in 2006, bassist Brent Wilson was fired due to his “lack of responsibility and the fact that he wasn’t progressing musically with the band.” And in 2009, guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker left the band to “embark on a musical excursion of their own,” forming The Young Veins. Dallon Weekes, who joined the band as a bassist and songwriter in 2009, had become a touring member only by the time Death of a Bachelor was released and later left the band completely in order to focus on his own music. Weekes was replaced by Nicole Row, the first female member of the band.
