Listen to The Strokes' track "Life Is Simple In The Moonlight" from their fourth studio album Angles.
Official Lyrics:
Animals on TV singing about some pain that they once felt
There's no one I disapprove of or root more for than myself
I wanted to pretend that it was better, better, better on the phone
Didn't wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous and alone
So we talk about ourselves in hell
To forget the love we never felt
All the old jokes that work so well
Universal truth was a moment's lie
Don't try to stop us
Don't try to stop us
Don't try to stop us
Get out of the way
Got to get to climb your tree in the light of the living ghost I see
She sees her father in that old man's eyes while secretly he stares at her thighs
Animals on TV singing about some they felt at some point
I didn't wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous, what's the point?
As I watch the velvet drapes appear
And the door was closed for 40 years
As we hide what we don't want to hear
As we hide what's really in our ears
He is coming from a part of hell
Where lightning blue eyes don't go down well
He can tell that we're oblivious
It's addiction of routine as well
Making fools out of the best of us
Making robots of the rest of us
Innocence itself in America today
Is a crime just like Cornel West might say
Don't try to stop us
Don't try to stop us
Don't try to stop us
Get out of the way

Does this remind anyone else of a Shakespearean play or something of that nature, I don't know why but it reminds me heavily of some sort of Elizabethan era love story (my own wacked perception of the song) but does anybody else have it too?

instead of arguing with the haters, just give them thumbs down, they dont deserve a conversation
