We all want some one to shout for
Everyone wants somebody to adore
Your heroes aren’t what they seem
When you’ve been where we’ve been
Have i done something to trigger
The funny looks and the sniggers?
Are they there at all
Or is it just paranoia
Everybody’s got there box and are doing what they’re told
You push my faith near being lost but we’ll stick to the guns
Don’t care if its marketing suicide, we won’t crack or compromise, your derisory devides will never unhinge us
There’s a couple of hundred
Think they’re Christopher Columbus
But the settlers had already settled here long before you
Just because we’re having a say so
And not lining up to be play doh
In five years time will it be: who the fuck’s arctic monkeys?
All the thoughts that i just said
Linger round and multiply in the head
Not that bad to start with,
I’m not angry, I’m just disappointed
It's not you it's them that are wrong
Tell 'em to take out their tongues
Tell 'em to take out their tongues
It's not you it's them that are wrong
Tell 'em to take out their tongues
Tell 'em to take out their tongues
And bring on the backlash!
It's not you it's them that are wrong
Tell him to take out his tongue
Tell him to take out his tongue
It's not you it's them that's the fake
I won't mess with your escape
Is this really your escape?
