The Strokes - bad decisions

가사는 1972년 모스크바를 배경으로 연인과의 복잡한 감정선과 그로 인해 생기는 나쁜 결정들을 그리고 있다
서로의 조언을 듣지 않고, 고통 속에서도 여전히 상대방의 존재를 중요하게 생각하는 마음을 표현한다
결국 이러한 갈등 속에서 느끼는 무력함과 고민이 강조된다

Dropped down the lights
I’m sitting with you
Moscow, 1972
Always singin' in my sleep
I will leave it in my dreams

Oh, makin' bad decisions
Oh, makin' bad decisions
Making bad decisions for you
Oh, makin' bad decisions
Uh-oh, makin' bad decisions
Makin' bad decisions for you

Pick up your gun
Put up those gloves
Save us from harm
Safe or alone

Oh baby, I hang on everything you say
I wanna write down every word
Do me a favor when you come through
When I look around
don't wanna see you
I don't take advice from fools
Never listenin' to you

Oh, makin' bad decisions
Oh, makin' bad decisions
Making bad decisions with you
Oh, makin' bad decisions
Uh-oh, makin' bad decisions
I'm makin' bad decisions with you

Pick up your gun
Put up those gloves
Save us from harm
Safe or alone

You, you didn't listen to me
But I, I didn't listen to you
I waited so long listening for
Something to work

I'm makin' bad decisions
Really, really bad decisions
I'm makin' bad decisions
On you, on you
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm not gonna give a lot of credit
I don't know how to use, how
'Cause I can't, I can't
I can't, can't make anymore
