Young and Menace Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We've gone way too fast for way too long
And we were never supposed to make it half this far
And I lived so much life, lived so much life
I think that God is gonna have to kill me twice
Kill me twice like my name was Nikki Sixx
I woke up in my shoes again but somewhere you exist singing
[Chorus]
Oops I, did it again, I forgot what I was losing my mind about
Oh, I only wrote this down to make you press rewind
And send a message: I was young and a menace
[Breakdown (Chopped Sample)]
Young and a menace
[Verse 2]
Woke up on the wrong side of reality
And there's a madness that's just coursing right through me
And as far as the time, far as the time
Not sure I'm there yet but I'm certain I've arrived
[Chorus]
Oops I, did it again, I forgot what I was losing my mind about
Oh, I only wrote this down to make you press rewind
And send a message: I was young and a menace
[Breakdown (Chopped Sample)]
Young and a menace
[Bridge]
I'm just here flying off the deep end
I'm just here to become the best yet
I'm just here for the psych assessment
I'm just here for the... For the...
Fall!
[Breakdown (Chopped Sample)]
Young and a menace
[Outro]
We've gone way too fast for way too long

How did Fall Out Boy release this song?

How did Jesse Shatkin help shape the sound of this song?
We wrote and recorded it, and I think that when you’re the artists, and you’re doing it, your perspective gets a little bit skewed, because you’re too close to the thing. Jesse Shatkin was able to distill it and make it something that was listenable for other people. He’s awesome.
