The Strokes - Ask Me Anything

7th track of The Strokes' album 'First Impressions Of Earth', 2006

Lyrics
Right, wrong, what to do
Someday it will come to you
Hostile Indians,
We named a summer camp for you

I've got nothing to say x7
I'm in utter dismay
I've got nothing to say

Harmless children,
We named our soldiers after you
Don't be a coconut,
God is trying to talk to you
We could drag it out,
But that's for other bands to do

I've got nothing to say x4

I've got nothing to give
I've got no reason to live
But I will fight to survive
I've got nothing to hide,
Wish I wasn't so shy

I'd like to watch
I'd like to read
I'd like a part
I'd like the lead

I've got nothing to say x4

I've got nothing to give
I've got no reason to live
But I will kill to survive
I've got nothing to hide,
Wish I wasn't so shy

I don't know why, I know it's not supposed to be humorous and that the lyrics are more profound than that, but I always find funny the fact that he's saying like 7 times in a row "I've got nothing to say", as if it was just music and he didn't knew what lyrics to put with it XD

Responder a este vídeo...  Who knows... Maybe we're all overthinking about the lyrics. Maybe it was pure randomness! Hahah.

[TheCat86]

I never have anything to say. I really have a problem with people and especially with girls. What do?

[coisinhasbanais]

@TheCat86 I hope that you didn't interpret this song as if he has "problems talking to people". Its much more that that.

@coisinhasbanais How would you know?

[coisinhasbanais]

@Clobberella1 I'm assuming that you're responding to this comment: " I hope that you didn't interpret this song as if he has "problems talking to people". Its much more that that.". Yeah, probably i shoundn't just assume that, but knowing Julian Casablancas writing style I'm shure this is not just about being shy.

I always hear people specifically saying shit about this song. I myself find this song beautiful.

[milusiakr]

@coisinhasbanais also, the phrase is "i've got nothing to say" not "i don't know how to say it, I'm too shy". i think it's awesome to be able to say that, in a world where virtually everybody has to state their opinion about something, no matter if they actually know anything.

don't be a coconut.

[rckyrd]

I figured out why I like this song so much. It reminds me of Bach's Prelude to Cello Suite No. 1. Good shit.

@coisinhasbanais but the Strokes are so awesome that I feel bad if I don't pay them
