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

Same shit, a different lie

Hello?

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

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, well, 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

Esta canción me trae recuerdos a finales del año 2021 y bonitos y a la vez no, ps en esos tiempos conocí un chico, nos gustabamos uno al otro y platicábamos diariamente hasta que me pase a presencial (dejenme aclararles que iba en presencial e iba en la misma escuela que yo) bueno pues el caso que cuando me pase a presencial nos hacíamos indirectas y así hasta que llegaron las vacaciones de diciembre y ps seguiamos platicando y platicando hasta que llego el 31 de diciembre y lamentablemente ese día nos peleamos muy feo tanto que lloré, el me dijo que no quería saber nada de mí, yo al leer esto empeze a escuchar una de mi canciones favoritas de The strokes que es esta The adults are talking, creo que x eso me trae tantos recuerdos esta canción...
Bueno después nos perdonamos ese día pero ya para que en Enero a finales le deje de gustar, yo sin saber le hablaba y así pero una de sus amigas que igual es mi amiga me dijo y lloré (sí, soy muy sentimental) bueno lo evite al otro día pero no fue buena idea ya que me seguía gustando y me costó demasiado dejarle de hablar y gusta realmente me gustaba demasiado, bueno ya ahora el ya hasta tiene novia y ahora ya no nos hablamos ni nada creo que nos caemos mal uno al otro bueno a mi me cae mal ya ni me habla ni para cosas buenas, pero bueno si leiste esto gracias <3

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

Coming to this song after listening to the live version confirms that energy on this is underwhelming. I don't care what you guys say

Los Pollos Hermanos

@Emerson Miller I mean it was a new sound for them but it's not like that hadn't been done before. It's basic science that if you listen to a song multiple times it will grow on you, even if you hated it the first few times you listened to it. So no surprise that it grew on you
