The Strokes - Ize of the World lyrics

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
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

You're 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

Your dreams are sweet and
Obsessed and you're overworked
You're over taken by visions
Of being overlooked
How disappointed would DIDIPP be
To see such our 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 the 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 to idolize leaders to scandalize
Enemies to neutralize no time to apologize
Fury to tranquilize! Weapons to synchronize
Cities to vapori–
