[00:04.62]Why do you speak with that accent now
[00:07.59]Everyone knows you're not from the streets
[00:10.72]You went to prep school in Cambridge
[00:13.44]With daughters and sons of the privileged elite
[00:16.66]Their fortunes from shipping and industry
[00:18.93]
[00:19.61]Their futures in yacht clubs and tails
[00:22.27]So why do you speak with that accent now
[00:25.23]
[00:25.91]Everyone knows you're moonlighting here
[00:29.07]To avail yourself of your heritage
[00:31.96]
[00:32.54]For a season or two in the sun
[00:34.80]
[00:35.63]Draw well from the funds in the trust
[00:38.20]Thanks to the fathers of fortunate sons
[00:40.57]
[00:42.08]For us it's a matter of charging the gates
[00:45.15]For you it's a matter of blood and connections
[00:50.11]
[00:52.63]Of blood and connections
[00:57.10]
[00:59.70]So who do you fool with that costume now
[01:02.95]Everyone knows you're not who you seem
[01:05.95]You've got a hard way about you
[01:08.26]
[01:08.99]For someone whose passage is already paid
[01:11.71]
[01:12.49]By the sins and the schemes of your father
[01:14.82]
[01:15.49]And the infinite reach of his arm
[01:17.88]
[01:18.75]Draw well from the funds in the trust
[01:21.45]Thanks to the fathers of fortunate sons
[01:23.59]
[01:25.14]For us it's a matter of charging the gates
[01:28.15]For you it's a matter of blood
[01:30.30]
[01:31.06]Drink well from your bottomless cup
[01:33.77]And bask in your good fortune
[01:36.20]
[01:37.43]For us it's a matter of charging the gates
[01:40.49]For you it's a matter of blood and connections
[01:46.13]So where will you be when you tire of the fun
[01:48.77]The escape the charade and your time in the sun
[01:51.79]I know everyone does their own reinvention
[01:54.62]But yours has a taste that's hard to swallow
[01:58.11]And what will you tell of your tenure with us
[02:00.96]Will you build yourself up
[02:02.50]Like the size of your hunt
[02:04.18]If they're anything like
[02:05.56]What you've been telling us
[02:07.13]Those stories will make true believers
[02:10.24]
[02:10.96]Of the chumps and the fools
[02:13.20]
[02:13.86]So why do you speak with that accent now
[02:16.89]Everyone knows you're not from the streets
