Lyrics No, No, No! - Parquet Courts

No, No, No!

I don’t want to be an essayist
I don’t want to be beside your friends
I don’t read open letters, long reads or give talks
«No, no, no!»
It’s just for them
I don’t want to be called a poet
I don’t want to be hanged in a museum
I don’t want to be cited, tacked onto your cause
«No, no, no!»
I’m just a man
I don’t want to be an influence
I don’t want you to understand
I don’t want to curate, publish no memoir
«No, no, no!»
We’re just a band
«No, no, no!»
