  • I'll just nod, I've never been so good at shaking hands
    I live on the frozen surface of a fireball
    Where cities come together to hate each other in the name of sport
    America, nothing is ever just anything
    I looked up to you, but you thought I would look the other way

    And you hear what you want to hear
    And they take what they want to take

    Don't be sad, won't ever happen like this anymore
    So when's it coming, this last new great movement that I can join?
    It won't end here, your faith has got to be greater than your fear

    Forgive them, even if they are not sorry
    All the vultures, bootleggers at the door waiting
    You are looking for your own voice but in others
    While it hears you, trapped in another dimension

    Drop your guard, you don't have to be smart all of the time
    I've got a mind full of blanks, I need to go somewhere new fast
    And don't be shy, oh no, at least deliberately
    'Cause no one really cares or wonders why anymore
    Oh, I got music, coming out of my hands and feet and kisses, woo

    That is how it once was done
    All the dreamers on the run

    Forgive them, even if they are not sorry
    All the vultures, bootleggers at the door waiting
    We're so quick to point out our own flaws in others
    Complicated mammals on the wings of robots

    If you believe in this world then no one has died in vain
    But don't you dare get to the top and not know what to do Writer/s: Julian Casablancas
