Story Behind The Song
It was group composition with Micheal writing the lyrics.
The off beat naturally happened during rehearsal and the stomp feel chorus seem to work.
The La La's and claps came about with some fun in the studio which has become and stable live.
The gang vocals and repeats at the end really came together in the recording process when vocal ideas were flowing.

Lyrics
V1:
I see the truth everywhere now,
In everyman's confusion, in the lit up young hearts, in the dark at night, with your friends in their fingers, and your inherit strange, the whole planet's worth the pain, for us to share
Chorus:
Nobody wants to upset you,
They just want you to know them
V2:
In every aftershock and nightmare,
In every made up eye in the city,
In each and every lie,
A truth covered in paint
Chorus 2:
Nobody wants to upset you,
They just want you to know them
V3:
I see the truth everywhere now,
In everyman's confusion, in the lit up young hearts, in the dark at night, with your friends in their fingers, and your inherit strange, the whole planet's worth the pain, for us to share
Chorus 3:
Nobody wants to upset you,
They just want you to know them
(Repeat and call and response)
