Kaiser Chiefs - Everything Is Average Nowadays

So
Everything is average nowadays
Everything is average nowadays
When everyone would do it if they can
And everything is going down the pan
And everyone is following the craze
Of everything is average now

You say it's getting better
But I don't really see the signs
You say that it's too different
You thought it would be suicide

There's not much to believe in
Left up on the shelf
So get your coat we're leaving
We'll just do something else

Everything is average nowadays
Everything is average nowadays
When everything is of no consequence
'Cos everyone is sitting on the fence
And everything will always stay the same
'Cos everything is average now

You say we didn't need it
So threw away the book of rules
They thought that we should read it
I wouldn't even know how to

There's not much to believe in
Left up on the shelf
So get your coat we're leaving
We'll just do something else

All I need is a ball and a wall
Or a sledge and a hill
In heavy weather
All I need is a ball and a wall
Or a sledge and a hill
In heavy weather

There's not much to believe in
Left up on the shelf
So get your coat we're leaving
We'll just do something else

Everything is average nowadays
Everything is average nowadays
When everyone would do it if they can
And everything is going down the pan
And everyone is following the craze
Of everything is average now
