We all want someone to shout for
Yeah, everyone wants somebody to adore
But 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 their box
Doing what they´re told
You pushed my faith near being lost
But we´ll stick to the guns
Don´t care if it´s marketing suicidal
Won´t crack or compromise
Your do-rights or individes
Will never unhinge us

And there´s a couple of hundred
Think they´re Christopher Columbus
But the settlers had already settled
Yeah, long before ya

Just cos we´re having a say-so
Not lining up to be playdoh
Oh, in five years time, will it be
"Who the fuck´s Arctic Monkeys?"

´Cause everybody´s got their box
Doing what they´re told
You pushed my faith near being lost
But we´ll stick to the guns
Don´t care if it´s marketing suicidal
Won´t crack or compromise
Your do-rights or individes
Will never unhinge us

[Instrumental]

(La la la la la, la la)
(La la la la la, la la)
(La la la la la, la la)

All the thoughts that I just said
Will linger round and multiply in their head
Not that mad 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?
