Just Like Kids
Hinds Lyrics

Can I tell you something about you and your band?
May I give you some constructive criticism about your band?

'Cause I'm sure you'd love to listen to my advice
Because I'm certain you would appreciate my suggestions.

You're always out of tune
Your music is often off-key.

And there's no place there for you
Your music does not fit in anywhere.

Dude
Casual term of address for a male.

Where are you from with that accent that doesn't let you pronounce?
Your accent is unfamiliar and affects your pronunciation.

Are you Spanish or something, wait, can you roll your R's?
Perhaps you are of Spanish origin, can you pronounce the Spanish R?

You're too pink to be admired
Your complexion is too pale to be attractive.

And too punk to be desired
Your punk style is not appealing.

Ñañañañañañañañaña
Mimicking sound with an insulting overtone.

Just like kids, we are late and our home is far away
Like children, we are often delayed and far from home.

We do this, we do that
We engage in various activities.

I'm tired of waiting
I am exhausted from waiting.

We are all afraid of that long road
We are all apprehensive of the long journey.

I guess it's the prettiest curse
I suppose it is a bittersweet experience.

To be fair I don't know you but a friend of mine does
To be fair, I am not personally acquainted with you, but my friend is.

He said you were successful cause your legs are nice
He claimed that your attractiveness contributed to your success.

It must be so much fun
I imagine it is enjoyable.

To spend your daytime in the van
Traveling in a van during the day must be such an adventure.

Hahaha
Indicates amused laughter.

You will never look smart if you show that big smile
Your big smile does not convey intelligence or sophistication.

Better dress all in black
Wearing all black is a better fashion choice.

Oh darling you're too young
My dear, you are too young.

Dude it's been a pleasant chat
It has been a delightful conversation.

But I'm off to do my job
I must attend to my work.

'Cause we have the craziest crowd
Because we have a very enthusiastic audience.

Waiting for this kittens to Miau
They are anticipating the arrival of us, the performers.

We do this, we do that
We engage in various activities.

I'm tired of waiting
I am exhausted from waiting.

We are all afraid of that long road
We are all apprehensive of the long journey.

I guess it's the sweetest
I suppose it is a pleasurable experience.

I guess it's the warmest
I imagine it is a comforting experience.

I guess it's the prettiest curse
I suppose it is a bittersweet experience.
