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 marke ting 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?
