The Adults Are Talking

The Strokes

    Continues after the ad

    They've been saying, 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
    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 they 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

    Continues after the ad

    You were waiting for the elevator
    You were saying all the words I'm dreaming
    No more asking, 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 trying hard to do the right thing
    But without recompense

    And then you did something wrong and they 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

    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 different lie
    I'll get it right some time
    Maybe not tonight
    Maybe not tonight
    Maybe not tonight
    Maybe not tonight
    Maybe not tonight
