  • Sister, it feels like just yesterday
    Sister, don't you forget my number on the door
    You've got something and it's so good to see
    Something wonderful that I could not be
    Everybody hanging on for their lives
    But you can't help them 'cause you don't have the time

    I know everyone goes any damn place they like
    I hope this goes over well on the toxic radio, yeah

    You get taken all the time for a fool
    I don't know why
    You're so gullible but I don't mind
    Oh, that's not the problem
    And I don't need anyone with me right now
    Monday, Tuesday is my weekend
    You get taken for a fool all the time
    Oh, I don't know why

    Blame yourself for once, quit putting it on me
    I can't let you 'cause I've seen what it means
    It's so early, I don't want to wake up
    Oh, we're so lucky 'cause we never grow up
    Mama, it feels like just yesterday
    Mama, don't you forget my number
    I don't want to be the one at the door

    I know, everyone goes any damn place they choose
    And I hope everyone well on the toxic radio
    A tourist in the ghetto, not afraid of anything
    Except death and anything else that could maybe hurt them, oh, yeah

    You get taken all the time for a fool
    I don't know why
    You're so gullible but I don't mind
    That's not the problem
    And I don't need anyone with me right now
    Monday, Tuesday is my weekend
    You get taken all the time for a fool
    I don't know why
    You get taken all the time for a fool
    I don't know why
    I don't know why Writer/s: Fabrizio Morretti, Julian Casablancas, Nick Valensi
