Ize of the World - The Strokes

作词：J. Casablancas

作曲：J. Casablancas

I think i know what you mean

But watch what you say

'Cause they'll be try 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 searched for it's 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 won'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

Your dreams are sweet and obsessed

And your overworked

You're overtaken

By visions of being overlooked

How disappointed would

D-ead i dealistic d esperate

I-nventor p-ioneer p-hilosophers

Be to see such power

In our hands all wasted on greed

Am i a prisoner to instincts

Or do my thoughts just live

As free and detached

As boats to the dock

Just like when music was born

And detached from your heart

Is your free time to free minds

Or for falling apart

Night after night

You turn out 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 vapor-i
