7 ways to go to school
Either you're noticed or left out
7 ways to get ahead
7 reasons to drop-out
Then I said, 'I can see me in your eyes.â?Â
He said 'I can see you in my bed.â?Â
That's not just friendship that you're meant to
You like music we can dance to
Sit me down, shut me up
I'll calm down, and I'll get along with you
There is a time when we all fail
Some people take it pretty well
Some take it all out on themselves
Some, they just take it out on friends
Oh, everybody plays the game
And if you don't you're called insane
Don't, don't, don't, it's not safe no more
I've got to see you one more time
Son, you were born in 1984
Sit me down, shut me up
I'll calm down, and I'll get along with you
Everybody was well dressed
And everybody was a mess
6 things that I feel you must do
So that just one loves you
Oh, all the girls played mental games
And all the guys were dressed the same
Why not try it all?
If you only remember it once
Ooo
Sit me down, shut me up
I'll calm down, and I'll get along with you
Dracula's Lunch
Dracula's Lunch is a standout track from The Strokes, appearing on their 2013 album Comedown Machine. The song captures the band's signature garage rock revival sound, blending jangly guitars with Julian Casablancas's distinctive, detached vocal delivery. As part of a record that marked a return to form for the New York quintet, the track showcases their ability to craft catchy, rhythm-driven pop-rock anthems. The recording features the tight interplay between Albert Hammond Jr.'s lead guitar and the rhythm section, creating an energetic atmosphere that defines the era. While the title suggests a whimsical narrative, the music remains grounded in the band's established post-punk aesthetic, offering fans a concise example of their enduring influence on modern rock.
