Sebadoh is an indie-rockband originally formed in massachusettsby former Dinosaur Jr.bass player Lou Barlowand Eric Gaffney. The band began as a side project, but when Barlow was kicked out of Dinosaur Jr. in 1989, Sebadoh became his full-time concern. Along with such bands as Pavementand Guided by Voices, Sebadoh helped pioneer lo-fi, a style of indie-rock characterized by low-fidelity recording techniques, often on four-track machines. The band's early output, such as (1990) and III(1992), was typical of this style, and wavered between Barlow's wry, introspective folk and Gaffney's psychedelic noise-rock experiments.

Mr Genius Eyes Lyrics

Sebadoh

Rest now Mr. Genius Eyes, your work has all been done
Speak in special riddles, standing pointing at the sun behind you
There is no way around you
(I wish I never found you)
A bitter gifted girl, look at what she's done
Making fun of boys on the other side of the sun
I'm here to be used
Try to be confused with someone
It's no one; the special boy is only no one
I should be free to be what I am
As you should have what you need
But if you see what you need in me
Then you can't have what you need
It's not fair to expect that from me
'Cuz that's not what I am
You think I reject you, but I never wanted to hurt you
Now you want to hurt me 'cuz I won't set you free
That's what you see, but that's not what I am
I'm a genius (X6)
