The Strokes - I'll Try Anything Once

Ten decisions shape your life

You'll be aware of five about

Seven ways to go through school

Either you're noticed or left out

Seven ways to get ahead

Seven reasons to drop out.

When I said, "I can see me in your eyes"

You said, "I can see you in my bed"

That's not just friendship, that's romance, too

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, don't, it's not safe no more

I've got to see you one more time

Soon 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

Six things without fail you must do

So that your woman loves just 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?

Sit me down, shut me up

I'll calm down and I'll get along with you.
