Not What I Needed - Car Seat Headrest

I have nothing but questions

I need answers, those would fill me up

I know when I’m being catered to!

I know when I’m being catered to!

I will not settle for the lowest common denominator!

Hello my friend, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time

We have reason to believe that your soul is just like ours

Did you ever get the feeling you were just a little different?

Well, here’s our web page, you’ve finally found a home

Good people give good advice

Get a job, eat an apple, it’ll work itself out

It’s a phase (It's a phase!)

It’s chemistry (It's chemistry!)

It’s your own fault (It's your own fault!)

Well don’t listen to us

We’re just people too

I’ve been waiting all my life

I’ve been waiting for some real good porn

Something with meaning

Something fulfilling

I’d like to make my shame count for something

I feel so empty trying to explain this

His name is William Onyeabor, he’s from the 70s

And when I wake up in the morning

There are people sleeping on my couch

Well, I’ll have something to say about that one

Free people give free advice

Let go of the pain, let go of the fear

But if I let go of that

What will still be here?

Will I find out

That I am just people too?

Please say that one more time?

Um, yeah, I mean, uh, the intent was to sort of go back to these periods and,

and revisit them a little bit, especially with Teens of Style.

You know,

with Teens of Denial it was sort of contemporaneous when I was writing it.

You know, and what I was experiencing at the time.

And, uh, I guess I was just

out of my teenage years when I was writing things for Teens of Denial.

I didn’t really feel like anything had changed.

So, um, yeah I guess, you know,

the two of those albums together are sort of, they’re both an exploration of

past feelings and how they connect to the present and what I’m doing in the

present tense

I’m sorry, you’ll have to say that again

The connection must be bad.

Um, can you try one more time?

Ahh.

Um, when I was starting out, I, uh, recorded vocals in my car sometimes,

uh, just for the sake of privacy
