We Are All Accelerated Readers Songtext

von Los Campesinos!

I was sick in my mouth because of the fear
Of the scent of the next girlfriend
And there were conversations
About what Breakfast Club character you'd be

I'd be the one that dies, no one dies
Well then what's the point?

You should have built
Have a statue and so I did of you
And you were ungrateful and slightly offended
At the dimensions of the thing

You said you looked less like the Venus de Milo
And more like your mother in a straight jacket
I think it's great that you're doing fine now
But enough is enough and I've had enough

Since we became accelerated readers, we never leave the house

You should have built a wall
You should have built a wall

And I'm not Bonnie Tyler, and I'm not Toni Braxton
And this song is not gonna save your relationship, oh, no shit
And this sentimental movie marathon has taught us one thing
It's the opposite of true love is as follows, reality

You should have built a wall, not a bridge
(Since we became accelerated readers, we never leave the house)
You should have built a wall, not a bridge

Since we became accelerated readers, we never leave the house
Since we became accelerated readers, we never leave the house
