Lyrics The Wildhearts

The Wildhearts

Stupid Things

I wanna be just as cool as the people on the radio

'cos they don't ever say that you shouldn't and 'I told you so'

And they stand a million strong

And they remind you when you're wrong

But I'd rather get along

Doing stupid things, doing stupid things

Ain't it funny how they all turn into saints and kings

If your only sin is doing stupid things

Doing stupid things when you're feeling low

Isn't something that you want all of the world to know

If your only sin is doing stupid things

You deflate, ego shrunk

You're just a little bit crap when you're drunk

But it's worse in your mind

‘cos everybody everywhere

Does stupid things from time to time

And when-a we get together and decide to pass a lynch around

It's a gate; a collective kind of hate: their only common ground

When circled by the pack

Even friends they will attack

But you get the bastards back

Doing stupid things, doing stupid things

Ain't it funny how they all turn into saints and kings

If your only sin is doing stupid things

Doing stupid things when you're feeling low

Isn't something that you want all of the world to know

If your only sin is doing stupid things

Well you got what it takes

You want to learn from all your mistakes

But it's worse in your mind

'cos everybody everywhere

Does stupid things from time to time

Think you're the man that'll never crow?

Think you're the friends with stones to throw

Thinking a thousand times they'll never let him go

Doesn't it make you feel that you are

Who you want to be individually

And they stand a million strong

And they remind you when you're wrong

But I think I'll get along

Doing stupid things, doing stupid things

Ain't it funny how they all turn into saints and kings

If your only sin is doing stupid things

Doing stupid things when you're feeling low

Isn't something that you want all of the world to know

If your only sin is doing stupid things

Doing stupid things, doing stupid things

Ain't it funny how they all turn into saints and kings

If your only sin is doing stupid things

Doing stupid things when you're feeling low

Isn't something that you want all of the world to know

If your only sin is doing stupid things
