The Adults Are Talking lyrics

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

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

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, 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

Maybe not tonight

Maybe not tonight

Maybe not tonight

Maybe not tonight

Maybe not tonight
