The last message you sent
siad I looked really down
that I oughta come over
and talk about it
well I wasn't down
I just wasn't smiling at you
as I look at us now it seems
that you're slapping my back
as if it's alright
but its not.
I'm trying to get up
but you're pushing me down
so I'll get up on my own
Now there's some grinning goon
on my TV screen
telling us all that
it's alright because
she wears this and
he said that and
if you get some of these
it'll all be alright
well I refuse
to be a cynical goon
passing the masses
an easy answer
because it won't be alright
oh no it won't be alright
it won't be alright
unless you get up
come on and get up
Well I'm just a voice in your earpieces
telling you no
it's not alright
you know you could have it so much better
you could have it so much better
if you tried.

Franz Ferdinand è un gruppo musicale scozzese formatosi a Glasgow nel 2002. Il loro sound, definito indie rock con influenze post-punk e art rock, ha conquistato rapidamente l'attenzione della critica e del pubblico internazionale. Il nome del gruppo deriva dall'arciduca Francesco Ferdinando d'Austria, la cui ascesa al potere scatenò la Prima Guerra Mondiale. 2004 vide la pubblicazione del loro album di debutto omonimo, che ottenne un enorme successo grazie a brani come "Take Me Out" e "The Dark of the Matinee". Il secondo album, "You Could Have It So Much Better", uscito nel 2005, consolidò il loro status di band di culto. Franz Ferdinand è noto per le performance energiche dal vivo e per l'abilità compositiva di Alex Kapranos, il frontman del gruppo. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano anche "Do You Want To" e "Stand On The Horizon".
