Ask Me Anything Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Right, wrong, what to do—someday, it will come to you
Hostile Indians, we named a summer camp for you
[Chorus 1]
I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say, I'm in utter dismay, I've got nothing to say
[Verse 2]
Harmless children, we named our soldiers after you
Don't be a coconut, God is trying to talk to you
We could drag it out, but that's for other bands to do
[Chorus 2]
I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to give, got no reason to live
But I will fight to survive, I've got nothing to hide, wish I wasn't so shy
[Bridge]
I'd like to watch, I'd like to read
I'd like a part, I'd like the lead
[Chorus 2]
But I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to give, got no reason to live
Oh, I'll kill to survive, I've got nothing to hide, wish I wasn't so shy
Right, wrong, what to do—someday, it will come to you
Hostile Indians, we named a summer camp for you
[Chorus 1]
I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say, I'm in utter dismay, I've got nothing to say
[Verse 2]
Harmless children, we named our soldiers after you
Don't be a coconut, God is trying to talk to you
We could drag it out, but that's for other bands to do
[Chorus 2]
I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to give, got no reason to live
But I will fight to survive, I've got nothing to hide, wish I wasn't so shy
[Bridge]
I'd like to watch, I'd like to read
I'd like a part, I'd like the lead
[Chorus 2]
But I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to give, got no reason to live
Oh, I'll kill to survive, I've got nothing to hide, wish I wasn't so shy
About
Genius Annotation
“Ask Me Anything” is the seventh track on The Strokes' 2005 album, First Impressions of Earth.
In an interview with GQ, Julian Casablancas told how the song came to him in a dream:
It’s funny… I dreamt it was a Scissor Sisters song. And there was just a chorus where they kept saying, I’ve got nothing to say, and it was so hypnotic and weird and fucked with my head. I woke up thinking it was a real song. And then I realized: ‘Oh, wait, I made that up in a dream, so I can just do it and I’m not plagiarizing.’
