The Strokes - Ize of the World lyrics

rate me

I think I know what you mean but watch what you say

'cause they'll be trying to knock you down in some way

Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep

How do you wake someone up from inside a dream?

Your mind would wander and search for its place in the night

Your body followed this feeling like following light

Once that your music was born it followed you 'round

and then it gave your activities meaning and let you be loud

Your sad but you smile

It's not in your eyes

Your eyeballs don't change

It's the muscles around your eyes

An egg to fertilize

A pulse to stabilize

A body to deodorize

A life to scrutinize

A child to criticize

Young adults to modernize

Citizens to terrorize

Generations to desensitize

You're dreams are sweet and obsessed

And you're overworked

You're over taken by visions of being overlooked

How disappointed would D.I.D.I.P.P be

To see such our power in our hands all wasted on greed?

I am a prisoner to instincts

Or do my thoughts just live as free

and detached as boats to the dock?

Just like music was born

And detached from your heart.

Is your free time to free minds

or for falling apart?

Night after night

You turn off the light

You don't fall asleep

Right away

"Are we...are we done?"

A desk to organize

A product to advertise

A market to monopolize

Movie stars you idolize

Leaders to scandalize

Enemies to neutralize

No time to apologize

Fury to tranquilize

Weapons to synchronize

Cities to vaporize
