  • Sympathy, won't you come around?
    I don't need the commotion
    Usually, though I'm up and down
    You just need rollercoasters

    Good-goodness me, all you talk about
    Is how you'll beat all the others
    Sympathy won't come around
    So make peace and discover

    Why you make it up?
    Party on and tear it down
    Don't you wanna get it on?
    Everybody believes you now

    I can see what you're all about
    You don't need to be clever
    If you don't speak your thoughts aloud
    You just feel them forever

    Good-goodness me, all you talk about
    Is how you'll beat one another
    Sympathy is gonna come around
    So make peace and discover

    Why you gotta make it up?
    Party on and tear it down, down
    Don't you wanna get it on?
    Everybody believes you now

    You don't need to be clever
    You don't need to be clever
    You don't need to be clever

    Sympathy's gonna come around
    You don't need to be clever
    Sympathy's gonna come around
    You don't need to be clever
    You don't need to be clever
    You don't need to be clever Writer/s: Declan McKenna, Gianluca Buccellati
