Taken For A Fool by The Strokes

Sister, visited us 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 ‘cos 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.
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.
I don’t know why.
