A Piece Of What You Need - Teddy Thompson

Is this what we really want

Background music from a restaurant?

Spare me, It’s doing in my head

Drop dead gorgeous teen

Singing pages from her diary

So bad you’d kick her out of bed

Break down the stupid wall

Stop doing what you’re told

And don’t believe a thing you see

Red Light, drop that ball

Stop getting everything you want

And get a PIECE of what you need

Life on the happy pills

Count on Pfizer to erase our ills

It’s working, I’m feeling pretty blank

So sing, sing soulless boy

Give us more of your simple joy

It’s soothing, money in the bank

Break down the stupid wall

Stop doing what you’re told

And don’t believe a thing you see

Red Light, drop that ball

Stop getting everything you want

And get a PIECE of what you need

Oh say can’t you see we’re kinda, sorta living free

Staring into space, bye bye human race

Break down the stupid wall

Let’s stop doing what we’re told

And don’t believe a thing you see

Red Light, drop that ball

Let’s stop getting everything we want

And get a PIECE of what we need
