Our Lawyer Made Us Change the Name of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued Lyrics

Brothers and sisters put this record down
Take my advice ('cause we are bad news!)
We will leave you high and dry
It's not worth the hearing you'll lose

It's just past 8 and I'm feeling young and reckless
The ribbon on my wrist says, "do not open before Christmas"

We're only liars, but we're the best (we're the best)
We're only good for the latest trends
We're only good 'cause you can have almost famous friends
Besides, we've got such good fashion sense

Brothers and sisters, yeah, put these words down
Into your notebook (spit lines like these)
We're friends when you're on your knees
Make them dance like we were shooting their feet

It's just past 8 and I'm feeling young and reckless
The ribbon on my wrist says, "do not open before Christmas"

We're only liars, but we're the best (we're the best)
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only good 'cause you can have almost famous friends
Besides, we've got such good fashion sense

We're only liars, but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trend

We're only liars, but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only good 'cause you can have almost famous friends
Besides, we've got such good fashion sense

What is the Meaning of Our Lawyer Made Us Change the Name of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued?

This cheeky track from Fall Out Boy dives into the perils and pretenses of fame with a satirical edge. The band pokes fun at themselves and the music industry, highlighting how artists often feel compelled to conform to trends to maintain relevance. The repeated lines about being "only liars" and "good for the latest trend" suggest a self-awareness of their role in this cycle. Additionally, the mention of "almost famous friends" and good fashion sense plays into the idea that much of their identity and value in the public eye is tied to superficial aspects rather than genuine talent or artistry. It's a candid reflection on the paradox of popularity, wrapped in energetic beats that make you want to dance even as you contemplate its deeper commentary on celebrity culture.
