There's a rich boy But he doesn't spend He just drinks his Poland Spring He's a quick boy walkin' round the bend Or at home alone reading And he wants to do good And he wants to do right So he does what he should But he's got to subscribe To the rules of the tribe Now you're Playin' for the team Everybody loves to love a winner And you're bustin' the beguine Everybody knows you're no beginner But ah the bums say oh Things ain't what they seem
You're the respectable member of society But you don't have nothin' on me You gotcha east side certified pedigree But you won't have nothin' you'll see Because I warned you They would scorn you But you never did a thing
When you go in for the kill Everybody wants to make it happen And you make a hundred mil Everybody wants to scratch your back then But ah the freaks say oh Things ain't what they seem
You're a respectable member of society But you don't have nothin' on me You gotcha uppercrust dinner tux sanctimony But you won't have nothin' you'll see Because I told you They would mold you But you never did a thing
Are you gonna tell Are you gonna hide Are you Gonna join the crowd or split Who are you payin' Ah what are you sayin' Are you gonna sell Are you gonna buy Are you gonna fizzle out or hit Where are you layin' Ah what are you sayin'
He's a grown man And he wears a tie And his laugh is hard and fast He's a old man Far before his time And his jacket holds a flask And he tried to do good And he tried To do right So he did what he could But he had to subscribe To the rules of the tribe
Now you're lookin' for a queen Everybody talks too much and argues And it makes you wanna scream Don't these little punks Realize who they're talkin' to But ah the scrubs say oh Things ain't what they seem
You're a respectable member of society But you don't have nothin' on me You gotcha caterers and prada and your maitre'd But you won't have nothin' you'll see Because I warned you They would burn you But you never did a thing You're the respectable members of society But you don't have nothin on me You're the respectable members of society You're so respectable You're the respectable members of You're so respectableTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
