Undergoing Treatment Lyrics
We are undergoing treatment
Watching others in the news
Studying our worst reviews
They say we'll get over it
Disappear like dinosaurs
To the sound of small applause
Resigned to mid-priced sections.
If you see me walking in the garden
Don't ever ask me for an autograph
If you ever catch me in the arcade
Don't even stop me for a photograph.
We are undergoing treatment
Till our ethic fits the scene laid out in Q magazine
They crave our conformity
Mediocre to the bone, terrified testosterone
But why do we still face the music?
If you see me walking in the garden
Don't ever ask me for an autograph
If you ever catch me in the arcade
Don't even stop me for a photograph.
Now and then you get the strangest notion
There's something missing
That keeps you guessing
Wild ambition
Can you really blame us?
Can you entertain us?
Can you give a little more?
If you see me walking in the garden
Don't ever ask me for an autograph
If you ever catch me in the arcade
Don't even stop me for a photograph.
Hmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm
Hmmmmmmmm
We are undergoing treatment
But will the doctors ever cure
These delusions of grandeur?
Watching others in the news
Studying our worst reviews
They say we'll get over it
Disappear like dinosaurs
To the sound of small applause
Resigned to mid-priced sections.
Don't ever ask me for an autograph
If you ever catch me in the arcade
Don't even stop me for a photograph.
Till our ethic fits the scene laid out in Q magazine
They crave our conformity
Mediocre to the bone, terrified testosterone
But why do we still face the music?
Don't ever ask me for an autograph
If you ever catch me in the arcade
Don't even stop me for a photograph.
There's something missing
That keeps you guessing
Wild ambition
Can you really blame us?
Can you entertain us?
Can you give a little more?
Don't ever ask me for an autograph
If you ever catch me in the arcade
Don't even stop me for a photograph.
Hmmm hmmm
Hmmmmmmmm
But will the doctors ever cure
These delusions of grandeur?

This song sounds like the band Duran Duran feels like they don't have to satisfy everyone. And it talks about how they are criticized by "others in the news." It think it talks about how they fit in the entertainment industry.
A fairly obvious dig at Q Magazine in particular and the music press in general who have never given Duran the credit they deserve. Nevermind, they'll soldier on regardless!
As the above reviewer said, this song was a dig a Q magazine, there review of the Thank You album was horrendous, even going as far to question Simon's singing ability.
