The Adults Are Talking

The Strokes

They've been sayin', "You're sophisticated" They're complainin', overeducated 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 tryin' hard to get your attention I'm climbin' up your wall Climbin' 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 tryin' 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 waitin' for the elevator You were sayin' all the words I'm dreaming No more askin' questions or excuses 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 tryin' 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 Always I do, it's not for you Ah Ooh Stockholders Same shit, a different lie I'll get it right sometime Oh, maybe not tonight Oh, maybe not tonight Oh, maybe not tonight Oh, maybe not tonight Oh, maybe not tonight Hello? 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 kooky situation So, let's go back to the old key, old tempo, everything Okay
