[Intro]
We're on, that's a nice way to start, Jonny
[Verse 1]
Are you such a dreamer
To put the world to rights?
I'll stay home forever
Where two and two always makes a five
[Verse 2]
I'll lay down the tracks

You have not been
Paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
You have not been
Paying attention
Paying attention

Paying attention
You have not been
Paying attention

Paying attention

[Outro]
I try to sing along
But I get it all wrong
'Cause I'm not, 'cause I'm not

But I'm not, but I'm not
But I'm not, but I'm not
Don't question my authority or put me in a box
'Cause I'm not, 'cause I'm not
Oh, go and tell the king
That the sky is falling in
But it's not, but it's not, but it's not
Maybe not, maybe not
