The Adults Are Talking - The Strokes

They've been sayin', "You’re sophisticated"

They're complaining, 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

Climbing up your walls

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 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 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 then

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

Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah, ooh, 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

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 low key, old tempo, everything
