lyrics

Perception is a funny thing
It make you think you're really good when you're really quite shit
Perception is a funny thing
It make you think you're really shit when you're really quite good

And it all depends on where you stand
On the inside or outside of the band
And you think that you see clearly
But there's smudges on your glasses and you can't see

Oh no, oh can't you see?
Oh can't you see?

We're overrated! No no, we're underrated!
It depends on your view, you see.

We're underrated in our opinion! No no, you're overrated in our opinion!
It depends on your view, you see.

I hate nightclubs and the flase eyelashes
The boring music and the Topshop dresses
The fashion victims that pretend to be
Something other than themselves.

We'll never know what we really look like
And we'll never know what we really sound like
The lamppost is taller than the hill
All depending on whereabouts you stand.
