[Intro]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 1]
Yeah, you don't have to be so loud
Everyone can hear you in this whole damn crowd
Don't have to try so hard
I think they got the message, you were out of your mind

[Pre-Chorus]
It's not so good to see you this upset
But the next generation will forget

[Chorus]
They're always scared of where their daughters been
Cause who knows, they could be alone with men
They never wanna see or hear or think about again

Is it gone? Gone?

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't have to lick my face
Everyone can see that you're a psycho in displace

[Chorus]
That the next generation will forget
Where their daughter's been
Or who knows they could be alone with men
They're never gonna let you understand
Or show you what it is to be a man
You don't wanna sit down and talk and hear
You don't think anyone is in your ear
I never wanna see your face accused
It's no one's fault

Is it gone? Gone?

[Chorus]
They're always scared of where their daughter's been
Cause who knows, they could be alone with men
They never wanna see or hear or think about again

Is it gone?
I hope that, that, that it's gone

The Strokes

The Strokes burst onto the scene at a time when rock fans were desperate for an alternative to the rap-rock that was dominating the airwaves. That the band lived up to expectations after being hailed ‘saviors of guitar rock’ solely based on the strength of a three song EP is a testament to the quality of their flawless debut, July 2001’s Is This It.

Ultimately, they are a band that truly relies on the strength of the entire lead singer Julian Casablancas, lead guitarist Nick Valensi, drummer Fabrizio Moretti, guitarist Albert Hammond Jr., and bassist Nikolai Fraiture. However, much of The Strokes' output has been influenced by the domineering vision of Casablancas' songwriting.

Before he took a small step back on their third album, January 2006’s First Impressions of Earth, and then isolated himself to record March 2011’s Angles, Casablancas was involved in almost every step of The Strokes' recording process. He wrote all of the lyrics and the music on their first two albums and was constantly involved in the mixing of the records.
