or this I got this from a website and a person said this:
The arms dealer reffers to the commercial songwriters, who write songs (weapons) for bands. They don't care which band wins, as long as the crowd sings one of their songs. This basically means labels don't care about bands and their success, as long as one of their bands is scoring hits. It's a statement against commercialization of music.
This ain't a scene (in sense of a group of currently popular artists in a genre, whereas they share the same music, but are also each others competitors). The scene is an arms race because:
1. You have to fight for your place
2. You are under constant attack by other bands, press and even your own fans
3. The bands fight among each other to score hit songs, which is really important for the labels that decide whether you stay on the scene
"I'm a leading man" - he is the lead singer, the one that spreads the weapons / lyrics. The lies he weaves are so intricate (intricate means complex), because most bands want their lyrics to appear as their own / authentic, while they are actually written by others for commercial reasons.
The boys the dance floor didn't love - probably a reference to failed boy-bands, as in these bands it's important to dance in a flashy way. The dance floor didn't love them, means they weren't good enough dancers.
The girls' whose lips couldn't move fast enough - seems to me this one is about lip-syncing, as lip-sync pop-star girls are the female counterpart of the dancing boy band boys. These girls couldn't lip sync well enough, a metaphore for girls who didn't have what it takes to make it as a pop star.
Why do they call these two 'groups' to sing along? The failed boy-band boys and pop star girls are the ones who couldn't make it in the commercial music branche. They know how hard the scene is, therefore they know it's an arm race.
I agree that the video explains a lot of the lyrics, especially FOB's attitude toward fake fans, press and competing bands (Panic).
The song is generally an FU toward the people above, they jokingly admit they are commercial and fake, as FOB has been accused of a lot. They sarcastically admit to all of these, as if they want to say: so what if all that is true? Our music will still sell.
