Arctic Monkeys - teddy picker

사람들은 조급하게 웃음을 찾고 있지만, 진정한 유머는 세상에 없다고 느끼며, 외부의 이미지와 환상에 휘둘리고 있다
이러한 사회적 압박 속에서 진정한 가치와 의미를 찾기 어려워, 불안과 혼란이 드러난다
모든 것이 단순한 웃음거리로 환원되는 것에 대해 의문을 제기한다

They've sped up to the point where they provoke
The punchline before they have told the joke
Plenty of desperation to be seen
Staring at the television screen
They've sped up to the point where they provoke
You to tell the fucking punchline before you have told the joke
Well sorry, sunshine, it doesn't exist
It wasn't in the Top 100 list
And it's the thousandth time that it's even bolder
Don't be surprised when you get bent over
They told you, but you were dying for it
She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed
The kids all dream of making it, whatever that means
Another variation on a theme
A tangle on the television and the magazine
D'you reckon that they do it for a joke?
D'you reckon that they make 'em take an oath
That says that "We are defenders of any poser
Or professional pretender around"
