Biography

The Strokes are an American rock band from New York City. Formed in 1998, the band is composed of singer Julian Casablancas, guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr., bassist Nikolai Fraiture, and drummer Fabrizio Moretti. Following the conclusion of five-album deals with RCA and Rough Trade, the band has continued to release new music through Casablancas' Cult Records. The band's debut album, Is This It (2001), was met with widespread critical acclaim and helped usher in the garage rock revival movement of the early 21st century; it was ranked No. 8 on Rolling Stone's 100 "Best Debut Albums of All Time", No. 2 on Rolling Stone's "100 Best Albums of the '00s", No. 199 on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", and No. 4 on NME's "Top 500 Albums of All Time".

LYRICS

Ooooh
Some people think they're always right
Others are quiet and uptight
Others they seem so very nice nice nice nice nice oh oh
Inside they might feel sad and wrong
Oh no
29 different attributes
And only 7 that you like, uh oh
20 ways to see the world, oh oh
Or 20 ways to start a fight

Oh, don't, don't, don't
Get up
I can't see the sunshine
I'll be waiting for you baby
'Cause I'm through
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you

Ooooooo-ooooo-ooooooh
Oh, men don't notice what they got
Women think of that a lot
1000 ways to please your man oh oh
Not even one requires a plan. I know
Countless odd religions too
It doesn't matter which you choose
One stubborn way to turn your back
This I've tried, and now refuse

Oh don't don't don't
Get up
I can't see the sunshine
I'll be waiting for you, baby
'Cause I'm through
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you

Alright..
Shut me up
Shut me up up up up up
And I'll get along with you...
