The Adults Are Talking

Lyrics

They've been saying 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
 ♪
 Climbin' up your walls
 And 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
 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
 ♪
 And 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, 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
 Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ooh-ooh
 ♪
 Stockholders
 
 Same shit, a different life
 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, boys, 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 and everything
