Respectable

You're the respectable member of society
Because I warned you, they would scorn you
Now you're playin' for the team
But he had to subscribe
Where are you layin'? What are you sayin'?
But you won't have nothin' you'll see

To the rules of the tribe
Are you gonna join the crowd or split?

Or at home alone reading
But you don't have nothin' on me
But you never did a thing

But you don't have nothin' on me
And his jacket holds a flask
But you won't have nothin' you'll see
Don't these little punks realize who they're talkin' to
And he wants to do right
You gotcha east side certified pedigree
You gotcha caterers and prada and your maitre'd

But you never did a thing
So he did what he could
You're the respectable members of society
So he does what he should
But the bums say oh, things ain't what they seem
To the rules of the tribe
Are you gonna sell? Are you gonna buy?
But you don't have nothin' on me

And you're bustin' the beguine
You gotcha upper crust dinner tux sanctimony
And it makes you wanna scream
Because I warned you they would burn you
Everybody talks too much and argues
And he tried to do good

You're a respectable member of society
Everybody wants to make it happen

He's a grown man and he wears a tie
But the freaks say oh, things ain't what they seem
You're the respectable members of society

But you don't have nothin' on me

But you won't have nothin' you'll see
And his laugh is hard and fast
Because I told you, they would mold you
But he's got to subscribe
Everybody loves to love a winner
You're so respectable, you're the respectable members of
He's a quick boy walkin' 'round the bend
Now you're lookin' for a queen
Who are you payin'? What are you sayin'?
He's a old man far before his time
Are you gonna fizzle out or hit?
You're a respectable member of society
Are you gonna tell? Are you gonna hide?
And he wants to do good
Everybody knows you're no beginner

But you never did a thing
And you make a hundred mil
But the scrubs say oh, things ain't what they seem
And he tried to do right
Everybody wants to scratch your back then
When you go in for the kill
