lyrics

expectations

i'm so sick of being judged and to meet your expectations
not in the mood for questions or lengthy explanations
and sometimes i wonder what goes on inside your brain
does it satisfy you to make me explain, explain, explain, explain ...

are you a boy or are you a girl?
why are you dressed like this?
what do you smile for? what do you laugh at?
are you taking the piss?
why aren't you drinking? why are you veggie?
do you feel superior?
if you're such a nice girl,
shouldn't you also match your exterior?

i'm so sick of being judged and to meet your expectations
not in the mood for questions or lengthy explanations
and you make me wonder what goes on inside your brain
does it satisfy you to make me explain, explain, explain, explain ...

what do you do? what is it for?
can't you ask higher pay?
what about family? what about future?
why do you throw your life away?
what were you thinking? aren't you just dreaming?
what is your point of view?
do you think you're special
and that our rules do not apply to you?

buzzkill
bull dyke
big head
hippie

why do you think this is about you?
i do what i do with or without you

i'm so sick of being judged and to meet your expectations
not in the mood for questions or lengthy explanations
and you make me wonder what goes on inside your brain
does it satisfy you to make me explain, explain, explain, explain

Ich hab's so satt nur so zu sein, wie Du's von mir erwartest
Ich will Dir nix erklären, weil das einfach nicht mein Part ist
Und ich frag mich wirklich, was ist daran denn so schwer?
Geht's Dir besser, wenn ich alles erklär, erklär, erklär, erklär ...

about

Not The Ones Berlin, Germany

NOT THE ONES aus Ost-Berlin spielen simplen 77-Punk mit Ohrwurmmelodien.
Dem Titel der ersten LP entsprechend versuchen NOT THE ONES seit Jahren, mit ihrer Musik schlechte Laune zu verbreiten, doch Publikum & Kritiker sprechen stets von Gute-Laune-Musik.
Bei Wanda Records heißt es: „Charmant-britische Guitar Punk-Nummern in Richtung Alternative TV & Adverts, versetzt mit Boys/Lurkers-Melodien.“
