First verse talks about the fact that people want an idol in their lives to adore, or people want the feeling of discovering a new band before everyone else.
Second verse is self explanatory.
Third verse, I think is talking about how everyone is in this "box, doing what they're told" meaning they are following all the trends out there and what not, and the Arctic Monkeys are saying that we don't give a shit if our music is marketing suicidal, (either meaning that their music isn't doing so well, or it means that their music is sending out bad messages), and they will stick to what they are doing cause they don't want to be trapped in that "box".
Fourth verse talking about how people think they have discovered this new band, just to find out that they aren't the first to actually discover them.
Fifth verse is talking about how they are not lining up to be playdoh, or they are not lining up like the rest of these new and upcoming bands to be molded by the public to fit their liking...and they are not gonna put up with that molding of the "playdoh" if that makes sense...
Then they are saying how its not you, its them, meaning its not the fans, its "them"...and who is them? I'm not sure...it could be the general media or what not.

Rest is pretty self explanatory.
Hope this helped. -dial
