Respectable - Nellie McKay[00:00:00]

There's a rich boy[00:00:04]

But he doesn't spend[00:00:06]

He just drinks his poland spring[00:00:07]

He's a quick boy walkin' round the bend[00:00:10]

Or at home alone reading[00:00:13]

And he wants to do good[00:00:15]

And he wants to do right[00:00:18]

So he does what he should[00:00:21]

But he's got to subscribe[00:00:23]

To the rules of the tribe[00:00:26]

Now you're[00:00:32]

Playin' for the team[00:00:33]

Everybody loves to love a winner[00:00:34]

And you're bustin' the beguine[00:00:37]

Everybody knows you're no beginner[00:00:39]

But ah the bums say oh[00:00:42]

Things ain't what they seem[00:00:45]

You're the respectable member of society[00:00:47]

But you don't have nothin' on me[00:00:49]

You gotcha east side certified pedigree[00:00:52]

But you won't have nothin' you'll see[00:00:55]

Because I warned you[00:00:57]

They would scorn you[00:00:59]

But you never did a thing[00:01:02]

When you go in for the kill[00:01:13]

Everybody wants to make it happen[00:01:15]

And you make a hundred mil[00:01:18]

Everybody wants to scratch your back then[00:01:20]

But ah the freaks say oh[00:01:23]

Things ain't what they seem[00:01:25]

You're a respectable member of society[00:01:27]

But you don't have nothin' on me[00:01:30]

You gotcha uppercrust dinner tux sanctimony[00:01:33]

But you won't have nothin' you'll see[00:01:35]

Because I told you[00:01:38]

They would mold you[00:01:40]

But you never did a thing[00:01:43]

Are you gonna tell[00:01:58]

Are you gonna hide[00:01:59]

Are you[00:02:00]

Gonna join the crowd or split[00:02:00]

Who are you payin'[00:02:02]

Ah what are you sayin'[00:02:03]

Are you gonna sell[00:02:09]

Are you gonna buy[00:02:09]

Are you gonna fizzle out or hit[00:02:10]

Where are you layin'[00:02:12]

Ah what are you sayin'[00:02:14]

Ah[00:02:19]

He's a grown man[00:02:24]

And he wears a tie[00:02:25]

And his laugh is hard and fast[00:02:26]

He's a old man[00:02:29]

Far before his time[00:02:30]

And his jacket holds a flask[00:02:31]

And he tried to do good[00:02:34]

And he tried[00:02:37]

To do right[00:02:37]

So he did what he could[00:02:39]

But he had to subscribe[00:02:42]

To the rules of the tribe[00:02:45]

Now you're lookin' for a queen[00:02:50]

Everybody talks too much and argues[00:02:52]

And it makes you wanna scream[00:02:55]

Don't these little punks[00:02:57]

Realize who they're talkin' to[00:02:58]

But ah the scrubs say oh[00:03:00]

Things ain't what they seem[00:03:03]

You're a respectable member of society[00:03:05]

But you don't have nothin' on me[00:03:07]

You gotcha caterers and prada and your maitre'd[00:03:10]

But you won't have nothin' you'll see[00:03:13]

Because I warned you[00:03:15]

They would burn you[00:03:18]

But you never did a thing[00:03:20]

You're the respectable members of society[00:03:31]

But you don't have nothin on me[00:03:33]

You're the respectable members of society[00:03:35]

You're so respectable[00:03:41]

You're the respectable members of[00:03:46]

You're so respectable[00:03:51]
