lyrics

We just make music for ourselves, yeah!

When we lost our jobs we didn't panic at all
We just waved goodbye to our bosses
And laughed as we thought of their losses

We set up this place in a rush, on a high
And we plan to stay here till the day that we die

Don't try to stop what we do, we've done this since we were 13
We do not even know why, it's in our blood, in our genes

We just make music for ourselves, yeah!

You can spot us a mile off. you even could at school.
But we don't do this to be different. we don't do it to be cool
Although it is, obviously
We set up this place in memory of you
We'll sit here and watch you fall to pieces

Don't try to make us come home. There's nothing at all for us there
Just traffic and brown smoke and mobiles and millions of products that all kill you
We're standing on top of tall mountains while you make lists, pretend to have fun
Our laptops and phones are all switched off. We have our own charts and we're all number one

It just takes some confidence. Yes I know how that sounds
But nothing's forbidden, nothing is out of bounds
I wish you could see this, I wish you could know that we won
It really is possible, don't give up hope, don't take up guns

Don't you feel rejected, there is none of that here
Just warm smiles and warm words, there is no fear, no heartbreak or tears
I wish you could see this but you left it far too long
Now we just kiss your lips for three minutes, then we're gone
We've moved on

We just make music for ourselves, yeah!
And if anyone else likes it, that's a bonus
