Kaiser Chiefs - Everything Is Average Nowadays Lyrics

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

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

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

Oh, everything is average nowadays
Everything is average nowadays
But 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 said we didn't need it
You threw away the book of rules
You 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 coats, 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
A sledge and a hill in heavy weather

Not much to believe in
Left up on the shelf
So get your coats, we're leaving
We'll just do something else

Oh, everything is average nowadays
Everything is average nowadays
When everyone would do it if they can
When everything is going down the pan
When everyone is following the craze
When everything is average nowadays
