On Monday, MTV News posted an extended interview with Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump , in which he discussed life, celebrity and songs from the band’s upcoming Folie à Deux album.

It was unique, because, well, it was probably the first FOB -related story in history that didn’t contain a single quote from bassist/mouthpiece Pete Wentz. So, not willing to deny you your daily dose of Wentz, we reached out to him for his take on some tracks from Folie, an album that he’s previously compared to AC/DC and hinted would head into decidedly political territory . Clearly, he’d have something to say this time too.

[...] And finally, there’s a song tentatively titled “Mr. Benzedrine,” which seems to be the haziest song on the record … and not just because the title will probably change between now and November. No, from the sound of things, it’s unlike anything Fall Out Boy have attempted before, and it just so happens to be about futuristic desert combat.

“The song that stands out to me the most is called ‘Mr. Benzedrine’ on the dry-erase board in the studio. I am sure the title will change, but the song is intact,” Wentz wrote. “Brendon [Urie] from Panic plays keyboards on this one, which is the most political yet least lucid and self-aware Fall Out Boy song to date. It centers on the idea of Benzedrine and [a] revolving typewriter paper of the beats, musically. The lyrics are about a war in the desert in a far-off time, but maybe not.” – MTV.com
