Sensitive Kid Lyrics


I try being sweet
It's buried deep in me
Now I can only see red on redMy mom's going out
With my best friend's dad
She talking loud I can't believe what she saidA sensitive kid
A sensitive kidThey sold the house
Left photo albums there
No silver ware while paper walls were bareI called all my friends
"Come over, come one, come all"
"Let's get a crowd here for one last hoorah"A sensitive kid
A sensitive kid
Who made me a sensitive kid?
A sensitive kidThe message was bleak
My brother pounded it in me
You climb it up or you cut it down, this is your family treeI know you were born
With a heart of gold
But I want a purple heart that cannot dissolveA sensitive kid
A sensitive kid

Don't call me a sensitive kid
A sensitive kidI can't tell you why you should have known it
Sensitive kids start acting like a grownup
I can't tell you why you should have known it
Sensitive kids start acting like a grownupI can't tell you why you should have known it
Sensitive kids start acting like a grownup
I can't tell you why you should have known it
Sensitive kids start acting like a grownup

Cold War Kids are an indie rock band from Fullerton, California, USA. The band members are Nathan Willett (lead vocals, piano, guitar), Jonnie Russell (guitar, vocals, percussion), Matt Maust (bass guitar) and Matt Aveiro (drums). According to Songfacts, Matt Maust came up with the band's name. He was inspired by a trip to Eastern Europe where he came across a big park where they'd dumped statues that had been removed after Communism fell. Within the park he found a playground and being in that environment the phrase 'Cold War Kids' popped into his head.

The band started in historic downtown Fullerton in Jonnie's apartment above the restaurant Mulberry St. (their first EP title) in 2004. They are avid supporters of unsigned talent such as the band Electric Furs. They have toured in support of Two Gallants, Tapes 'n Tapes, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Sound Team, Muse and The White Stripes. Their music is heavily inspired by artists such as Jeff Buckley, Bob Dylan, Velvet Underground and Johnny Segment. Recently they starred in an MTV2 special titled "Cold War Kids Takeover!" They appeared on Soccer AM and were announced as Norwich City F.C. Fans. They were going to tour with The White Stripes for their Icky Thump tour, but The White Stripes had to cancel.

In 2007, they contributed to OKX, a tribute to the 10-year-old Radiohead album OK Computer, recording their version of the track "Electioneering." Nathan Willett identified Radiohead and the album as a strong influence, saying, "It's the only album that I feel compelled to say way too grandiose things about, that rock journalists have already said plenty: Like that OK Computer is the single most important album to be released during my youth and that it was a rite of passage. But that really is the truth and I have never had an emotional connection with an album quite like I have with this one."

He also explained why the band chose to cover "Electioneering" from the album: "I'm not saying 'Electioneering' is the best song on the album, but (still, a big claim!) it's certainly the most badass. It's lyrically everything we want to do - bursts of concrete imagery."
