The Modern Age

The Modern Age
Up on a hill is where we begin
This little story a long time ago
Stop to pretend, stop pretendin'
It seems this game is simply never-endin'

Oh, in the sun, sun havin' fun
It's in my blood
I just can't help it
Don't want you here right now
Let me go, oh, let me, oh, g g g g g g g go
Leavin' just in time
Stay there for a while
Rollin' in the ocean
Tryin' to catch her eye
Work hard and say it's easy
Do it just to please me
Tomorrow will be different
So I'll pretend I'm leavin', oh yeah
Our fears are different here
We train in AVA
I wish you hadn't stayed
My vision's clearer now, but I am not afraid
Flyin' overseas, no time to feel the breeze
I took too many varieties
Oh, in the sun, sun havin' fun
It's in my blood
I just can't help it
Don't want you here right now
Let me go, ooh
Darlin' let me, let g g g g g g g go
Leavin' just in time
Stayin' for a while
Rollin' in the ocean
Tryin' to catch her eye
Work hard and say it's easy
Do it just to please me
Tomorrow will be different
So this is why I'm leavin'
La canción 'The Modern Age' de The Strokes nos transporta a una historia que comienza en lo alto de una colina hace mucho tiempo. La narrativa nos invita a detenernos en la falsedad, a dejar de pretender, ya que parece que este juego nunca termina...
