Warrior - Lyrics - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Yeah Yeah Yeahs are an American indie rock band formed in New York City in 2000. The group is composed of vocalist and pianist Karen O, guitarist and keyboardist Nick Zinner, and drummer Brian Chase. They are complemented in live performances by second guitarist David Pajo, who joined as a touring member in 2009 and replaced Imaad Wasif who had previously held this role. According to an interview that aired during the ABC network's Live from Central Park SummerStage series, the band's name was taken from modern New York City vernacular.

When it's missing then you want it more It isn't right Turning turning out the door And back to this Leave it like it was before And let me out Must've been the end of the story Giving it all Giving it all away You're going to wake up someone Study it all The wings, the crowd, your face You're going to end up like one Trouble at home Travel away. You say, "The road don't like me" Travel away Travel it all away The road's going to end on me Men, they like me 'Cause I'm a warrior A warrior Stand on my feet Dance the warrior The warrior Where would I be? I'd be a warrior A warrior Now the strangers have caught on And they're riding in the back seat The rivers going to wash all Yeah, the river it spoke to me It told me I'm small And I swallowed it down If I make it at all I'll make you want me Trouble at home Travel away. You say, "The road don't like me" Travel it all Travel it all away The road's going to get on me And I'm small The road's going to get on me If it gets it at all The road's going to end on me Like a warrior A warrior Dance the warrior The warrior
