Casablancas, Julian - Permanent High School Lyrics






If I told you the truth, It would be a lie

Be damned, don't you dare
I'll be laughing from here to there
Just because something's popular
Don't mean it's good

I'd like to be your drink
I'll help you talk
I'll help you think
Deal with it, I cheated on a test

Hiding what we want to do
Smart people will learn from fools
Life is like a hurricane
Crosswords on the asteroid game
Depressed and stressed and oppressed
Lies are simple, truth complex
Snakes with venom
Ones with none
Ones who bite you just for fun

The horror of being awaken
Temporarily see the madness of the life

Deal with it
If I told you the truth It would be a lie

Deal with it
If I told you the truth it would be a lie

Hiding what they want to do
Is it me or is it you
Dead lights comforting someone
Occupy the Washington
Sometimes it's easier to cry
Than try to figure out why
Fight for ungrateful grandchildren
In the future there's no sun

And I'm sorry that, sorry that
Sorry that I can't forget
And I'm sorry that, sorry that
Sorry that I can't forget
And I'm sorry that, sorry that
Sorry that I can't forget

Did my joy break like a toy
Tell me what we're fighting for

When did my dreams tear at the seams?
Put me on a different team

And I'm sorry that, sorry that
Sorry that I can't forget

  1. i.... u....

  2. C.... ....

    Drag Queen, someone?

  3. D.... J....

    This is not the strokes....... Its not the voidz.......its the STROIDZ.....

  4. A.... D....

    The strokes, Julian with his solo album and specially with the voidz makes me feel like if I'm gonna be forever young even when the race against time is real, I don't know how to describe the feelings but when I hear their music I remember when I was in high school, I remember my friends, my band, my ex girlfriends and how I used to enjoy my youth with no worries, driving by the night listening to good music, and now I'm part of the system listening the voidz once more, asking me where are those dreams and wtf am I doing with my life, I'm suppused to be living...

  5. m.... j....

    I'm at the biggest Jules fan you'll ever meet. Love The Strokes......this song starts off stronger than any song (shit's sick dude & awesome to dance to....COOL & DARK).....but why do you (Jules) ALWAYS go to an uppity (I don't even know if that's a word), positive, happy, soft chorus???......is it for the ladies?.....the chorus is just too soft......you always switch it up, when you should keep it like the beginning, & like the second part (similar to the beginning...guitar rifts? Hello? (Sorry, I've been drinking))......song is still awesome though.

  6. l.... ....

    when are we gonna have some of 'em sweet Virtue melodies in lima??

  7. N.... P....

    The “I’m sorry dad” part at the end is so fucking good I could listen to it forever

  8. A.... N....

    Me emociona que mañana va a estar The Voidz en CDMX, que aunque no vaya a ir yo, me emociona que mi gente sí vaya a ir, entonces va haber más gente que le guste The Voidz.

  9. A.... ....

    3:54am already drunk... nice moment to hear this song

  10. H.... b....

    Bro
    Julian invented sadness

  11. i.... ....

  13. S.... A....

  15. H.... F....

    Coca-Cola

  16. N.... I....

    [Intro]
    If I told you the truth, it would be a lie

    [Verse 1]
    Be damned, don't you dare
    I'll be laughing from here to there
    Just because something's popular
    Don't mean it's good

    I'd like to be your drink
    I'll help you talk
    I'll help you think
    Deal with it, I cheated on a test

    [Chorus]
    Hiding what we want to do
    Smart people will learn from fools
    Life is like a hurricane
    Cloud-swirls when the asteroid came
    Depressed and stressed and oppressed
    Lies are simple, truth complex
    Snakes with venom
    Ones with none
    Ones who bite you just for fun

    [Verse 2]
    The horror of being awakened
    And temporarily see the madness of the life

    [Pre-Chorus]
    Deal with it
    If I told you the truth, it would be a lie
    Deal with it
    If I told you the truth, it would be a lie

    [Chorus]
    Hiding what they want to do
    Is it me or is it you?
    Their lies comforting someone
    Occupied like Washington
    Sometimes it's easier to cry
    Than try to figure out why
    Fight for ungrateful grandchildren
    In the future there's no sun

    [Bridge]
    Well I'm sorry that, sorry dad
    Sorry that I can't forget
    Well I'm sorry that, sorry dad
    Sorry that I can't forget
    Well I'm sorry that, sorry dad
    Sorry that I can't forget

    [Verse 3]
    When did my joy break like a toy?
    Tell me what we're fighting for
    When did my dreams tear at the seams?
    Put me on a different team

    [Outro]
    Well I'm sorry that, sorry dad
    Sorry that I can't forget

  28. T.... I....

    Lovely song.. great video..i dont really GET any connection between the two though...the reckless frivolity overcompensating for the social displacement of uninitiated youth?

  36. J.... T....

    I don't like their music, they are always switching songs mid-song. It's odd, they have some sort of coherence, and then they break into a whole different rhythm. Then back again. It's like they took all of their indecisions and put it together and called it music.

  37. s.... ....

    How the fuck this doesnt have more than 1M views?

  38. A.... K....

    Guinevere I acquired a Roman Copyright for Miriam's documentation of "The Cyclone" sexual creation circa 70 A.D. Kuan Yin registered "The Cyclone of Miriam and Josef", the same sexual creation in the 15th century. Mata Hari patented "The Cyclone" sexual creation of Miriam and Josef less than 100 years ago.

    The patent that Polita Barnes born Peggy Marks obtained in the past year for "The Tornado", a counterfeit of "The Cyclone" does not hold up to the original patent. Other considerations include the fact that the original creation is not for sexual feigning services but is a Soulmate Union Sexual Experience Creation that requires power and goes to flight. The idea causes levitation and produces lightning. The idea works with the crown chakra opening down to the root chakra opening to create a joint funnel experience. The physique and power level of Miriam of Jordan were required to create the performance of "The Cyclone". How it was created is also documented. This creation has a patent fee for public demonstration. Julian Casablancas was not permitted to utilize this sacred idea with his bloodline Aunt Polita Barnes or anyone else for that matter.

  39. A.... K....

    Note: "Rudolf MacLeod's Birthday Present From Mata Hari" is a patented sexual pattern compilation creation featuring breath and the bump and grind of Mata Hari's rhythm pattern on Rudolf MacLeod's rhythm pattern with the favorite sexual ideas of Rudolf MacLeod from their repertoire. This was patented by Mata Hari and is catered to Rudolf MacLeod.

    Lisa Bullock feigned this creation without permission and took the credit. Lisa Bullock pertained to the bump and grind while feigning Nefertiti II as a nine year old.

    There is a patent fee to pay.

    julian: “in the future there’s no sun”

  42. R.... P....

    I was obsessed w the Strokes and Phrazes for the Young yet I didn’t find out about the Voidz till recently and I’m sad I haven’t been supporting them the whole time. Julian Casablancas is an amazing songwriter.

    Just graduated from high school last week and now all I can say is that it will never be permanent ✨

  53. A.... ....

    Pure ecstasy.

    A.... ....

    Too bad that at the end he doesn’t continue singin’ « I m sorry that I cant forget «  at least another.. million times!
    This ending reminds me of some Weezer epic moments, with the guitar screaming and emphasizing the singer desperate voice in killer melodies.
    The atmosphere of the song and video is just out of this world..
    (I dont know who is the actress but she reminds me a bit of Lily Rose Depp)

  54. L.... R....

    Everything julian casablancas touches becomes a masterpiece
