Listen to The Strokes' track "Machu Picchu" from their fourth studio album Angles.
Official Lyrics:
Putting your patience to the test
Putting your body on the line, for less
Didn't you know there was a choice?
It's never yours but someone else's voice
Selling your body to the street,
Selling your girlfriend's to the night for cheap
Wearing a jacket made of meat,
Sealing a letter made with horse's feet
And now you've heard that...
Waves turn to grey,
Life in the shade,
A violent crime,
And that's the USA
Platinum's on the rise,
Playboys in disguise,
I'm just trying' to find
A mountain I can climb
Putting your patience to the test
Putting your body on the line, for less
Didn't you know there was a choice?
It's never yours but someone else's voice
And now you see that...
Blondes turn to grey,
Life in the shade,
A violent crime,
And that's the USA
Porn's on the rise,
Psycho's in disguise,
I'm just tryin' to find
A mountain I can climb
Darling, aren't you gonna tell us,
They're gonna be oh so jealous,
We're gonna be oh so silent,
They're gonna be stoned in silence
I didn't want to ask you baby,
I didn't want you to have to ask anybody baby,
Is anybody asking maybe?
Can anyone hear me/this shit?
Why are you waiting beyond the door?
Life turns to dust,
And rain turns to rust,
Gossip is a truth,
And money pays for the lies we trust,
Your love is a surprise
Homeless saints are in disguise
I'm just tryin' to find
A nice place for you and I.

@Uncharted2 Granted, you were just stating your opinion, and I fully respect what brought you to this song, but you can't deny that saying "fuck you hipster fags" is extremely subjective and, to be frank, rude. So I would definitely expect people to be offended.
...Although I really would rather not start an argument, considering your username is one of my favorite games.
