What's Ya Take on Cassavettes Lyrics

We've talked about it in letters
And we've talked about it on the phone
But how you really feel about it
I don't really know

What's Yr Take on Cassavete's?
What's Yr Take on Cassavete's?
What's Yr Take on Cassavete's?
What's Yr Take on Cassavete's?
Misogynist? Genius?
Misogynist? Genius?
Misogynist? Genius?
Misogynist? Genius?

What's Yr Take on Cassavete's?(x4)
Alcoholic? Messiah?
Alcoholic? Messiah?
Alcoholic? Messiah?
Alcoholic? Messiah?

What's Yr Take on Cassavete's?(x4)
Genius? Misogynist? Alcoholic?
Hey where's Gena?
Genius? Misogynist?
Messiah? Alcoholic?

What's Yr Take on
What's Yr Take on
What's Yr Take on
What's Yr Take on Cassavete's?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Gena was cassavetes' wife too. This song is about dealing with contradictory feelings about art. Like cassavetes, who is absolutely a genius and a misoginist too...so the song is about dealing with this as a feminist artist.

With her film career and all, Johanna is excellent at using sounds to get a certain feeling across. Hence the dogs.

Johanna? I didn't realize I said that until just now. I meant Sadie Benning, of course. Ah the consequences of sleep deprivation.

Obviously, one of my favorite songs. :) And, I don't know about the Gena thing either. I'll go do some research.
