Franz Ferdinand

Little Guy from the Suburbs

I'm just a little guy from the suburbs
Who learned to kill before the others
Romantic activist, I'm the joker
I say, "Vive le Québec libre"

But if you hear this, know when you hear this
You'll know I didn't, I didn't make it like I hoped we would
I didn't make it like I hoped we would
I didn't make it like I hoped we would
But you know, you know, yes, you know

No heroes
Just those who care more for their legend than their life
There are no heroes in this life

I tried, yes, I tried, with a shy girl
To live respectable, well decided
Fake existentialist, I'm the martyr
Steal from the bank of Jean-Paul Sartre

But if you hear this, know when you hear this
You'll know I didn't, I didn't make it like I hoped we would
I didn't make it like I hoped we would
I didn't make it like I hoped we would
But you know, you know, yes, you know

No heroes
Just those who care more for their legend than their life
There are no heroes in this life

I am the little guy from the suburbs
But I learned to kill better than the others
What's that you said about execution?
Oh, bring on [?]

But if you hear this, know when you hear this
You'll know I didn't, I didn't make it like I hoped we would
I didn't make it like I hoped we would
I didn't make it like I hoped we would
But you know, you know, yes, you know

No heroes
I don't care
Form a legend all my life
There are no heroes in this life
