sweetie 6,628 Posted June 7, 2014 Anybody else hear "they think I'm too dumb to sing" in the second verse? Edit: never mind, in context with the verse, I think it's still see I was about to come post the exact same thing. I do think it's "sing"... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron 163 Posted June 7, 2014 I was about to come post the exact same thing. I do think it's "sing"... Ok, glad I'm not the only one. I was listening to it without the lyrics and thought for sure it was sing, but then came here and doubted myself lol 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larina 682 Posted June 7, 2014 Second listen, obviously MISSING so much/is really wrong/ but you guys can use it as a base to continue! A really bad attempt at 7 AM lol apologies, help me out guys! -- They say I'm too young to love you I don't know what I need They think I don't understand The freedom land of the Seventies They think I'm too cool to know you You say I'm like the ice I freeze I'm churning out novels like Beat poetry on amphetamines I say I say Well my boyfriend's in a band He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed I've got feathers in my head I get down to beat poetry And my jazz collection's rad I can play almost anything I'm a Brooklyn baby, I'm a Brooklyn baby They say I'm too young to love you You say I'm too dumb to see They judge me like a picture book By the colors like they forgot to read I think we're like fire and water I think we're like the wind and sea You're burning up, I'm cooling down You're up, I'm down You're blind, I see But I'm free I'm free Well my boyfriend's in a band He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed I've got feathers in my head I get down to beat poetry And my jazz collection's rad I can play almost anything I'm a Brooklyn baby, I'm a Brooklyn baby Talking about my generation Talking about a newer nation And if you don't like it You can beat it Beat it, baby You never liked the way I said it If you don't get it then forget it Cause I don't have to fucking explain it And my boyfriend's in a band He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed I've got feathers in my head I get high on hydroponic weed And my jazz collection's rad I get down to beat poetry I'm a Brooklyn baby, I'm a Brooklyn baby ??? Yeah my boyfriend's pretty cool, but he's not as cool as me Cause I'm a Brooklyn baby, I'm a Brooklyn baby -- (Gonna keep editing this post with suggestions/etc/whatever) HOW DID YOU GET THE LYRICS? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evilentity 13,348 Posted June 8, 2014 For an old fart like me who listens to classic rock, it's obvious to the point of being almost not worth mentioning, but for those of you who are younger (basically everyone), "I'm talking 'bout my generation" is a reference to this song by The Who: Also, I love the line "I get high on hydroponic weed". Too bad it comes directly after "I've got feathers in my hair." (Why not go with "flowers"?) #YetAnotherCulturalAppropriationThread 5 Quote Stalking you has sorta become like my occupation.

Creyk 11,717 Posted June 9, 2014 So I just thought about how she wrote a couple of songs as a fuck you song, and how she could have this for the person who originally stole the songs from her hard-drive and e-mail or whatever. And then I changed these lyrics in my head and since then, they are just stuck in my head My Lana collection's rare I can play almost anything I'm a Hoarder Baby I'm a Hoarder Baby 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
