The Strokes The Adults Are Talking

AlphabetLyrics.com

They've been sayin', you're sophisticated
They're complaining, over-educated
You are saying all the words I'm dreaming
Say it after me
Say it after me.

They will blame us, crucify, and shame us
We can't help it, if we are a problem
We are trying hard to get your attention
I'm climbing up your wall
Climbing up your wall.

Don't go there, 'cause you'll never return
I know you think of me, when you think of her
But then it don't make sense when you're trying hard
To do the right thing but without recompense
And then you did something wrong and you said it was great
And now you don't know how you could ever complain
Because you're all confused, 'cause you want me to
But then you want me to do it the same as you.

You were waiting for the elevator
You were saying, all the words I'm dreaming
No more asking, questions or excuses
The information's here, here and everywhere.

Don't go there, 'cause you'll never return
I know you think of me, when you think of her
But then it don't make sense when you're trying hard
To do the right thing but without recompense
And then you did something wrong and you said it was great
And now you don't know how you could ever complain
Because you're all confused, 'cause you want me to
But then you want me to do it the same way as you, and, but.

I don't, I don't want anything
I know it's not, it's not your fault
I don't want anyone
As I do, it's not for you.

Stockholders
Same shit, a different life
I'll get it right some time
Oh, maybe not tonight
Oh, maybe not tonight
Oh, maybe not tonight
Oh, maybe not tonight
Oh, maybe not tonight.

Yeah boy, here we go
And a one, and a two, and a three
Here we go friends (hold on, I can't)
Maybe that's a kooky situation
So let's go back to the old key, old tempo, everything.
