The wonderful Expecting Rain site did come up with a transcription, and I re-publish it below in the hopes that they don’t mind.

Indeed I’d think it was worth including on a mainstream CD.
#I AM WORTH IT SONG FULL#
I really can’t understand how, with all the effort going in to giving us so much of everything on the boxed set this clearly rehearsed song full of feeling gets left off. It’s just three chords, and lots of feel (you might call it “soul”). Everyone else, check the comments to see if someone else has shared the secret with us.About a song Bobby did but you just don’t quote… What do you think about "Uma Thurman" by Fall Out Boy? What do you think it means? Please share! Especially if you know what "Gem City" refers to-that would be super helpful. Wherever "Gem City" is specifically, it's the site of a battleground or metaphorical obstacle course that Fall Out Boy's woman navigates with ease. (Thanks to a user on ), Quincy, IL is known as the "Gem City" and it's only a few hours from Wilmette, IL where Fall Out Boy originates. Perhaps the most confusing part of the song is the reference to "Gem City" where the tide is turned. He sings, "Take me down the line / In Gem City we turn the tide." "he line" seems to be a reference to a battle line, which she walks confidently.

Stump sings, "You'll find your way / And may death find you alive." He has faith that nothing will stop this woman and wonders whether she even may be able to intimidate (or at least not care for the fear of) death. "hey're not quite what they seem" because this girl's very nature is to surprise those around her.įinally comes the Bridge, in which the ode progresses to a trance-like repetition of praises for the band's ferocious woman. He's beside himself and isn't taking proper care of himself as he spends so much time hoping to be with her. In the last half of that verse, he sings, "And I slept in last night's clothes and tomorrow's dreams / But they're not quite what they seem." He's dreaming of being with her and has become obsessed. While the rest of the world admires peace (and maybe even a conventional view of femininity as soft or passive), he can't keep himself away from her. In Verse 2, Stump sings, "The blood, the blood, the blood of the lamb / Is worth two lions, but here I am." He seems to be saying that while he knows that peace and martyrdom are worth more than war, he still finds himself drawn to her strong personality. Patrick Stump and the band are willing to get out of the way for such a woman as testified to by the line "Divide me down to the smallest I can be." The verse-finishing line, "Put your, put your v-v-v-venom in me" is likely another reference to Kill Bill but could also be a reference to Thurman's role as Poison Ivy in Batman & Robin. In Verse 1, the band references "he stench, the stench of summer sex" and "CK eternity" (a type of perfume), with both seeming to continue to strengthen the idea that a relationship with this woman will be intense. The last line of the chorus explains that Fall Out Boy can't get her out of its head, and so they will continue to chase her. suggests that the line about being buried until "I confess" likely refers to a scene in Kill Bill in which Uma Thurman gets buried alive, further intensifying how strong and energetic her characters' personalities are. He sings, "I can move mountains / I can work a miracle, work a miracle." To match her strength and power, he has to be able to promise her that he too can keep up with her and possibly even do things greater than she can so that she'll consider him worthy. And lead singer Patrick Stump begins his ode to this woman in the song's intro by proclaiming how far he'd go to woo her. "Uma Thurman's" about wooing a violent, wild woman. So that’s what the chorus of the song’s about, and the verses are what you would do to try and capture this woman’s affection. and rather than going with the traditional Uma Thurman role, we thought a lot about Kill Bill and who her character was in that, and this kind of resilience and this violence, but there’s something that’s authentic about it (like a woman taking revenge or being empowered). Uma Thurman and Winona Ryder, they were these women in pop culture who were quirky, but that made me only crush on them harder. On Facebook, the band explained the reason for picking her (as well as the rest of the song): She is now 45 and is known primarily for her work in Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill. (She also played Poison Ivy in the 1997 Batman & Robin.) Uma Thurman is an American actress from Boston.
