Future present past

2016

Drag queen


80s people dancing, oooh
Always get it right
I'd listen but I can't tonight
I can't tonight, I can't tonight
Well, it's something that you do to get it right
End up reviled for it
Yeah, that's the thanks I get

I don't understand
Your fucked-up system
This sinister city
Try to sell the water
Try to sell the air
Try to sell your daughter
Try to sell her hair
Verse:

'We all want to watch the fight'
'Is it on Sunday?'
Hide in a hole with a gun in your hand in front of
Someone you want dead, I guess?
Hiding in your suit...

I did not know that
Their bringing me back to my past
I got my head in my hands
I got my head in my—
I got my head in my hands
I got my head in my—
I got my head—
It's just something that you do to get it right
End up reviled for it
Yeah, that's the thanks I get

Jail, that's what you get
Stepping to the system
Profiting from war
Fighting as the victim
Always wanting more
Trying to trick your brothers
Get them to fight it for you

I cannot believe my eyes
Darling I can tell you lies
Coast to coast, L.A. to Chicago
I don't know geography all that well
Yeahhh
Yeah

Defying Western logic
Even if it shows you're wrong
I guess that's a classic
Been with us all along

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Strokes sono un gruppo musicale statunitense di rock alternativo e indie rock, formatosi a New York nel 1998. Composto da Julian Casablancas (voce), Nick Valensi (chitarra), Albert Hammond Jr. (chitarra), Nikolai Fraiture (basso) e Fabrizio Moretti (batteria), il gruppo ha raggiunto la fama internazionale con l'album di debutto *Is This It* (2001). L'album, caratterizzato da riff chitarristici accattivanti, testi ironici e un sound che rievoca gli anni '70, è stato accolto con grande entusiasmo dalla critica e dal pubblico. The Strokes hanno continuato a pubblicare album di successo come *Room on Fire* (2003) e *First Impressions of Earth* (2005), consolidando la loro posizione tra le band più influenti del rock contemporaneo. Il gruppo ha collaborato con artisti come David Byrne e Lou Reed, e i loro brani "Last Nite", "Someday", "Reptilia" e "You Only Live Once" sono diventati veri e propri inni della generazione indie.
