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?

'Cos 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 derides or individes
Will never unhinge us

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

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

'Cos 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 derides or individes
Will never unhinge us

(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

And it's not you, it's them that's the fake
I won't mess with your escape
Is this really your escape?
Yeah
