JULIAN CASABLANCAS
"4 Chords Of The Apocalypse"
(Julian Casablancas / Federico Moretti)

I hear it in your silence
When you don't speak
Well, what's funny then
Isn't funny anymore

I can hear it in your voice
There's always a catch
We're going nowhere
And we're going there fast

Anything to watch
While we are waiting
For this Apocalypse
What more is there to do?

It's nice to be important
But so close to being despised
It's more important to be nice
I guess, than being wise

I'll take you shopping
I'll take you dancing too
I'll take you out
All the things you wanna do

I'll give you diamonds
And I'll give you space
So be with anyone you want
It's alright with me

Our time is over
Don't you know that if a
Time-warp was open
I'd stay right in my place
That war is over

I hear it in your silence
When you don't speak
There is a quiet crying rage
Burning inside you, so deep

I'll give you anything
But I'll give you problems
So be with anyone you want
It's alright with me

I hear it in your voice
Can see it in your lips
There's always a catch
I guess that's alright with me

No one's around
But the map says "you are here"
Now I can hear loneliness
Screaming in my ear

Our time is over
Don't you know that if a
Time-warp was open
I'd stay right in my place
The war ain't over yet, no
This war ain't over yet
Being nice is only hard when others aren't
Our time is over
