Tap, tap, tap in the chatrooms
We're learning how to make a bomb
Hmm, well whatever
We don't want to sing along

We don't want to sing along
We don't want to sing along
We know every word to the song
But we don't want to sing along

Oh Marilyn, she'll desert me
Telling me I was wrong
She's all lipstick and instinct for money
But we don't want to sing along

We don't want to sing along
We don't want to sing along
We know every word to the song
But we don't want to sing along

Listen to the bullies singing
To prove that they all belong
You'd better watch your step, bully
'Cause we don't want to sing along

We don't want to sing along
We don't want to sing along
We know every word to the song
But we don't want to sing along

We don't want to sing along
We don't want to sing along
We know every word to the song
But we don't want to sing along

We don't want to sing along
We don't want to sing along
We know every word to the song
But we don't want to sing along

Chumbawamba

Anarcho-pop band from Leeds.

Originally formed in the early 1980s as Chimp Eats Banana, Chumbawamba first emerged in the anarchopunk scene which was dominated by bands such a pacifist punks Crass. As Chumbawamba increasingly differed from their peers in outlook and tactics, they began to adopt a new musical style which incorporated elements of folk music, indie rock and hip-hop.

After drifting between labels, their change in direction culminated in signing a record deal with major label EMI, a choice which sparked outrage amongst their former comrades, outrage that culminated in a “Fuck Chumbawamba” compilation. By chance, Chumbawamba’s new work with EMI resulted in an internationally best-selling single, “Tubthumping”, and a sudden rise to fame.
