about

The thing about success is, it's really bad for your back.

lyrics

Went to look at a new apartment this evening
When to see an apartment for the very first time
Seen so many new apartments in the recent past
This one wasn't the first, and it won't be the last
Don't want to look at another new apartment
Want to come back to one I can call my own
Take off my shoes, maybe my pants if I want to
Wander around naked, turn off the phone

(because) I don't have the will, I don't have the will to
I don't have the will, the time or energy to
I don't have the will, I do not have the will to
I don't have the will to do the things that I should do

Went on another first date this evening
Had drinks with this woman for the very first time
Was a unique moment, but now it has passed
Wasn't my first first date and it won't be my last
I don't want to go on another first date
Want to come back home to a girl that I know
One I can yell at, who can yell me back
Kiss and make up, go to bed, turn off the phone

I don't have the will, I don't have the will to
I don't have the will, the time or energy to
I don't have the will, I do not have the will to
I don't have the will to do the things that I should do

I'm gonna write the great American novel
But first, I think I'm gonna take a nap

I had something I was gonna do, maybe I should go get a drink by myself
I was gonna get an art grant, become a better lover, I was
gonna run for President, end racism in our time
I was gonna raise a family I could be proud of
I was gonna transcend the boundaries of human existence
But what was it I was gonna do first?
Maybe I'll... maybe I should... maybe I should just go get a drink by myself

(because) I don't have the will, I don't have the will to
I don't have the will, the time or energy to
I don't have the will, I do not have the will to
I don't have the will to do the things that I should do
No - no
No - no will
No no no - no
No will - no way

about

The Missing Teens Queens, New York

THE MISSING TEENS have risen like a Phoenix from the Hudson, to strip indie rock of its independence, and haul it away in chains. The aggression of Punk mixed with the marketability of Beyoncé makes The Missing Teens rock’s only hope in this dark hour. The MT have earned favorable comparisons to DEVO and the Talking Heads and have sworn to take their deranged revenge on a world awash in slack rock ... more
