Lyrics

Franz Ferdinand — The Fallen

So they say you're trouble, boy

Just because you like to destroy

All the things that bring the idiots joy

Well, what's wrong with a little destruction?

And the Kunst won't talk to you

'Cause you kissed St. Rollox Adieu

'Cause you robbed a supermarket or two

Well, who gives a damn about the prophets of Tesco?
