How I Taught Myself to Scream Lyrics
Hey! You want some universal truths like
"In your heart, you know we're right"
You faked your death in a game of charades
So you know how to get me hot
We get by on four hours sleep a night
And we never get tired, only tired of you
So swap an alibi for an alibi
Tonight's the night we all uprise
I proof-read your biography
Hum to the tune of a tragedy
And your very existence is a monument
To how I taught myself to scream
We'll bulldoze this city, plough it to the ground
But with two steps you just build something... worse
We get by on four hours sleep a night
And we never get tired, only tired of you
So swap an alibi for an alibi
Tonight's the night we all uprise
I proof-read your biography
Hum to the tune of a tragedy
"In your heart, you know we're right"
So you know how to get me hot
And we never get tired, only tired of you
Tonight's the night we all uprise
I proof-read your biography
Hum to the tune of a tragedy
To how I taught myself to scream
We'll bulldoze this city, plough it to the ground
But with two steps you just build something... worse
And we never get tired, only tired of you
Tonight's the night we all uprise
I proof-read your biography
Hum to the tune of a tragedy

I think this song is about Margaret Thatcher. She famously once said she only got four hours sleep a night, and I think the lines "we'll bulldoze this city, plough it to the ground" and "just build something worse" is kind of an anti-Thatcherist message.
Another AMAZING song by los campesinos Not sure what it means though.
its about not giving a fuck about anything and not conforming to society. and to not be boring
Pretty sure this: "We'll bulldoze this city, plough it to the ground But with two steps you just build something... worse"
Is supposed to be: "We'll bulldoze this city, plough it to the ground, but we're too scared to just build something worse."
