Will Toledo - Not What I Needed lyrics

[Verse 1] 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! [Pre-Chorus 1] 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 [Chorus 1] Good people give good advice Get a job, eat an apple, it'll work itself out It's a phase It's chemistry It's your own fault Well don't listen to us We're just people too [Verse 2] I've been waiting all my life I've been waiting for some real good p**n Something with meaning, something fulfilling I'd like to make my shame count for something [Pre-Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus 2] 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 people too? [Outro] Should I 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. (...?) really feel like anything had changed. So, um, yeah I guess (...?) two of those items together (...?) what I'm doing in the present tense I'm sorry, will I have to say that again? The connection must be bad. Um, can you try one more time? Ah, um, when I was starting out, I, uh, recorded vocals in my car sometimes, uh, just for the sake of privacy
