I kind of see her point but personally...

the fact that Teddy Picker by Arctic Monkeys which is a song which addressed all these matters directly was released on a very fine album 2 years ago made enough of a point to me which is why I won?t participate in the buying of the middle class teenage rebellious song that is ?Killing In The Name Of??.

Not that I have an issue with those who do buy it, I just wish maybe they pay attention to some other stuff which isn?t a form of propaganda from a band which is on a major label anyways and that song is stupidly overplayed in indie clubs anyway, You can actually see quite a few bands in London who make a lot more of the point than RATM do but they don?t have the musical muscle to get the airplay they deserve.

Teddy Picker

They've sped up to the point where they provoke
the punch-line before they have told the joke

plenty of desperation to be seen
staring at the television screen
sped up to the point where they provoke you to tell the f**king punch-line
before you have told the joke,
"Sorry sunshine it doesn't exist. It wasn't in the top 100 list"

It's the 1000th time that it's even bolder,
don't be surprised when you get bent over,
they told you but you were dying for it

Saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed,
the kids all dream of making it, whatever that means

Another variation on a theme,
a tangle on the television and the magazine
Do you reckon that they do it for a joke?
Do you reckon that they make them take an oath that
says: "We are defenders of any poser or professional pretender around"

When did your list replace the twist and turn like a fist, replaced a kiss, don't concern us with your bollocks,
I don't want your prayer save it for the morning after.

Let's have a game on the teddy picker
"not quick enough can I have it quicker"
already thick and your getting thicker

Presuming all things are equal who'd want to be men of the people?
When there's people like you!!!
