Lyric discussion by Umthatwassarcasm 

From an interview of Brandon Flowers as published by Entertainment Weekly (Circa 2013): “Somebody Told Me” (2004) 
“We were going out to clubs a lot at the time. I think it speaks to a young man’s frustration, the difficulty of picking up girls. [Laughs] That’s probably where it stems from. I was just able to run with it, and the band supplied a wonderful backing track.”
