Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys? Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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?
[Chorus]
'Cause everybody's got their box
Doing what they're told
You push my faith near being lost
But we'll stick to the guns
Don't care if it's marketing suicide
We won't crack or compromise
Your derisory divides
Will never unhinge us
[Verse 2]
And there's a couple of hundred
Think they're Christopher Columbus
But the settlers had already settled
Here long before you
Just 'cause we're having a say-so
Not lining up to be Play-Doh
Oh, in five years' time will it be
"Who the fuck's 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?
[Chorus]
'Cause everybody's got their box
Doing what they're told
You push my faith near being lost
But we'll stick to the guns
Don't care if it's marketing suicide
We won't crack or compromise
Your derisory divides
Will never unhinge us
[Verse 2]
And there's a couple of hundred
Think they're Christopher Columbus
But the settlers had already settled
Here long before you
Just 'cause we're having a say-so
Not lining up to be Play-Doh
Oh, in five years' time will it be
"Who the fuck's Arctic Monkeys?"
[Chorus]
'Cause everybody's got their box
Doing what they're told
You push my faith near being lost
But we'll stick to the guns
Don't care if it's marketing suicide
We won't crack or compromise
Your derisory divides
Will never unhinge us
[Verse 3]
All the thoughts that I just said
Linger 'round and multiply in the head
Not that bad to start with
I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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? Yeah
'Cause everybody's got their box
Doing what they're told
You push my faith near being lost
But we'll stick to the guns
Don't care if it's marketing suicide
We won't crack or compromise
Your derisory divides
Will never unhinge us
[Verse 3]
All the thoughts that I just said
Linger 'round and multiply in the head
Not that bad to start with
I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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? Yeah
