Ain't Complaining

Ain't Complaining was vaguely inspired by The Strokes. When presenting the song to The Strokes' producer, Gordon Raphael, who helped with vocals for Smack Smash, he noticed it's inspiration and said it sounds familiar.

The song was a live staple until their Boombox tour, which is when they started playing a new piano version of it.

[Verse 1]

You got me one more time on the telephone

I had a hard time making the call

What you're dying about is drying me out

And what is coming is taking control

[Pre-Chorus]

After you laid off your medication

I feel hungover, cut the connection

[Chorus]

I got no reason to communicate

Got no reason to communicate

Know where your story goes

Nowhere but down below

Ain't complaining

[Verse 2]

Anything near you, worth the attention

I cut the cord off my telephone

You're not wasting my precious time

What you're on about is just wearing me out

And I've been, I've been trying for too long
