I read a rumour in a tabloid paper
You said something interesting, denied it later
There was no evidence, they couldn't make it stick
It's on Youtube now and then
But comes down pretty quick
So we stayed up, and we argued all night
If we can't change the world
Let's at least get the charts right
The record buying public shouldn't be voting
The record buying public shouldn't be voting

How can you sleep at night when nobody likes the music we like?
How am I supposed to sleep at night when no one likes the music we write?
Record buying public, we hate them
This is Art Brut vs. Satan
Don't worry, we can take 'em!

On your visa, it says 'entertainer'
You'd better step it up or they're gonna detain you
It's all smoke and mirrors, don't go and see 'em
I wanted rock 'n roll, I got a science museum
So we stayed up, and we argued all night
If we can't change the world
Let's at least get the charts right
The record buying public shouldn't be voting
The record buying public shouldn't be voting

How can you sleep at night when nobody likes the music we like?
How am I supposed to sleep at night when no one likes the music we write?
Record buying public, we hate them
This is Art Brut vs. Satan
Don't worry, we can take 'em!
This is Art Brut vs. Satan
You like pop music and you like pop music
Why do you let them abuse it?
The record buying public

Full marks on my score card
A lesson learnt and learnt hard
Full marks on my score card
A lesson learnt and learnt hard

A brush with Satan can be fatal
We're doing this for you so you'd better be grateful
The record buying public, we hate them
This is Art Brut vs. Satan
The record buying public, we hate them
This is Art Brut vs. Satan
Don't worry, we can take 'em!
This is Art Brut vs. Satan
