Ize of the World

I think I know what you mean but watch what you say 'Cause they'll be trying to knock you down in some way Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep How do you wake someone up from inside a dream? You mind would wander and search for its place in the night Your body followed this feeling like following light Once that your music was born it followed you 'round And It gave you activities meaning and let you be loud You're sad but you smiled Its not in your eyes Your eyeballs don't change It's the muscles around your eyes An egg to fertilize A pulse to stabilize A body to deodorize A life to scrutinize A child to criticize Young adults to modernize Citizens to terrorize Generations to desensitize You're dreams are sweet and obsessed And you're overworked You're over taken by visions of being overlooked I'm disappointed would the I.D.I.P.P be To see such our power in our hands all wasted on greed Am I a prisoner to instincts Or do my thoughts just live as free And detached as boats to the dock? Just like music was born And detached from your heart Is your free time to free minds Or for falling apart? Night after night You turn off the light You don't fall asleep Right away Are we, are we done? A desk to organize A product to advertise A market to monopolize Movie stars you idolize News to scandalize Enemies to neutralize No time to apologize Fury to tranquilize Weapons to synchronize Cities to vapor-I --- Ize of the World - The Strokes
