Adidas World - Edwyn Collins

Well, don’t get me wrong, I won’t hurt myself

Back in the 80's, straight off the shelves

I even enrolled in the old school of cool

But how quickly I learned to be nobody’s fool

Don’t wanna live in an adidas world

With the adidas boys and the adidas girls

Don’t wanna live in an adidas world

With the adidas boys and the adidas girls

I tried it once or twice, but let’s not be wrong

You can’t defeat the enemy by singing his song

Adi Dassler, have you heard the news?

Gonna stomp all over your three-stripe shoes

Don’t wanna live in an adidas world

With the adidas boys and the adidas girls

Don’t wanna live in an adidas world

With the adidas boys and the adidas girls

You’ve gotta kowtow to the corporate cow

To the new superpowers I respectfully bow

Adidas, Nike, I salute your name

But I’ve twisted my ankle, so I’m out of the game

Don’t wanna live in an adidas world

With the adidas boys and the adidas girls

Don’t wanna live in an adidas world

With the adidas boys and the adidas girls

Don’t wanna live in an adidas world

With the adidas boys and the adidas girls

Don’t wanna live in an adidas world

With the adidas boys and the adidas girls
