take me back to when i was a kid
i first heard the strokes on youtube
my friend came over when juicebox came out
he played it for me i thought it was good
we listened to a couple more songs
this was before everything was on youtube
smoking marijuana just touch me touch me touch me touch me
fast forward a couple of years
i was in high school, another friend played them
music was easier to get at that point
i downloaded all of their albums through piratebay
and they really did it for me
when i was in high school they did it for me
smoking marijuana just touch me touch me touch me touch me
now just the other day
i heard their new album on my girlfriend's spotify
i didn't think it was that good
it isn't for me and that is ok
but they used to really do it for me
when i was in high school i felt close to something
smoking marijuana just touch me touch me touch me touch me

Sacrifice
01:34
|

are you willing to sacrifice
a bit of your time
just a couple of nights
some years of your life
and sacrifice
all virtue and vice
for a slice of the pie
its a very small price
to sacrifice
just a few civil rights
and some more civil rights
and some more civil rights
are you stalking your time?
are you staying alive?
are you crying at night
the money is tight
and I don't know what's next for us why don't we put on the tv
there's just so many shows have you noticed how good it gets on the tv
and i don't think it's worth the sacrifice but i sure love tv
a blood sacrifice for television #bloodsac4tv

I'm being reborn in the pit the saltwater
i'll reach the shore in a bit it's my fault
rubbing salt on my shit
i've defined my own success and still i am a failure
so like my content! and i'll like yours!
suck my podcast behind open doors
smash that like button smash those likes kid
(everybody, calm down just listen! do you think the students and teachers at Harvard are at each other's throats? No! Because they're all rich! We all have something in common, too- we all suck! We're all broke! We just went through an entire week of meatball lunches without even blinking!)
i've defined my own success and still i am a dingus
but i'm having trouble finding the heart connecting my brain and penis
so like my content! and i'll like yours!
suck my podcast behind open doors
smash that like button smash those likes kid
and i'll be more famous than anyone wanted

Possession

i want to love you without possession
but you're so precious i'm trying
i really love you check my erection
you're so leftist we're dying
or just the world
or just the people in it
but we don't clutch pearls
not in it to win
satisfy our need for revolution
by watching star trek on netflix
imagine the world
and all of the people in it
if they didn't clutch pearls
not in it to win
living in a nightmare economy
living in a pearl-clutched world
i'm not worried cause you are a part of me
america's not but we are democracy

and we don't have our money right we're just kids
we don't have it right
and we know that money's tight we're desperate
we know that it's tight
and you say you wanna be free
well that's news to me
i guess just take all you can see
but please leave the rest for me
and you know they're always right they've got money
you know they're right
and you don't wanna start a fight with the money
you don't wanna start a fight
and you say you wanna be free
well that's news to me
i guess just take all you can see
but please leave the rest for me
yea, it'll be alright
i'll take what they leave behind
i'll take what they don't see
and it'll be good for me
you say you wanna be free
well that's news to me
i guess just take all you can see
but please leave the rest for me

are you ready boys? somebody asked us to cut that noise
somebody asked us to make a choice and we did
we're all unemployed they pass it of like we're annoyed
media tells us that we're paranoid and we are
and we should be
everybody knows there's something wrong
it's hard to focus when the tv's on(album title drop!)
and i just can't help feeling like the people on the tv
accomplish things just for me and their character growth is my own
maybe one day i'll write one(a tv show) i'll star in it and have so much fun
i'll ask jacob to play my son and he'll agree
but for now the tv's on(there it is again!) i don't see how i'll get writing done
the side character's doing something wrong and it's funny
and i'm laughing
i can't tell is there something wrong
i can only focus with the tv on(without the apostrophe s, but it counts)
and i just can't help feeling like the people on the tv
accomplish things just for me and their character growth is in me
and whenever they have a problem i know that they will solve em
with a little bit of teamwork

Problems
03:11
|

|
do i make issues or do issues make me?
do i make issues? give me a reason why
and i'll begin to cry at any given time
i am such an uptight guy
do i make issues or do issues make me?
do i make issues? i never could decide
i'm just feeling mine i don't see the crime
i am not an uptight guy
but i don't even like em i don't even want em
i don't even know why i make up my problems
but i can't live without em i'm in love with problems
i keep them in the front of my mind cause i'm dumb
i'll be rocking with my band on a saturday night
or rocking in my band with the love of my life
now how is this a problem? where can i find a problem?
why would i ever stop?
do i blow tissues or do tissues blow me?
do i blow tissues? taking time
drawing in and out of lines flinching at the sight
of anyone who is alive
do i blow snotnose or does snotnose blow me?
am i a snotnose? it's a matter of pride
that i don't even like em i don't even want em
i don't even know why i make up my problems
but i can't live without em i'm in love with problems
i keep them in the front of my mind cause i'm dumb
i'll be rocking in my band with the love of my life
or rocking with my band on a saturday night
now how is this a problem? where can i find a problem?
why would i ever stop?
