[Verse 1]
Right, wrong, what to do; someday, it will come to you
Hostile Indians, we named a summer camp for you

[Chorus]
I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say, I'm in utter dismay
I've got nothing to say

[Verse 2]
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

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

[Bridge]
I'd like to watch, I'd like to read
I'd like a part, I'd like the lead

[Chorus]
But I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to give, got no reason to live
Oh, I'll kill to survive, I've got nothing to hide
Wish I wasn't so shy

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.
