Arctic Monkeys Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys?

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

(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?
