'No Matter What You're Told' is a song from Broken Bells new album called 'After The
Disco'. I couldn't find any lyrics online so I had to listen carefully and try to write the
lyrics down. I can't really hear what James Mercer is singing at some parts in the song
so the lyrics aren't a 100 percent correct. I did my best anyway. Feel free to comment
and rate!
