Don't know why I'm pretending to be Something I'm not, Something that's not me Doors are closed there's no way through so I Lie to myself and I lie to you These dickheads can't even pretend to care We're bottom of the food chain, just can't compare To wealth that's generational Oh yeah that's inspirational That says it's fine for likes, It's fine for looks But you'll be fined for life for having been brought up In the wrong place, At the wrong time They get to be frauds With all of the benefits While we get left behind Eating gruel and grits The poor will serve the sentence for the rich How come if she wears it it's fashion But if I wear it I just look like I'm crashing It's a spoonful of sugar on the sly for you 'Cos white ties always trump work boots That says it's fine for likes, It's fine for looks But you'll be fined for life for having been brought up In the wrong place, At the wrong time They get to be frauds With all of the benefits While we get left behind Eating gruel and grits The poor will serve the sentence for the rich They Can't hear it Don't want to hear it Stay in our place but It's not our fault just the Way of the world and Can't drown it out now That says it's fine for likes, It's fine for looks But you'll be fined for life for having been brought up In the wrong place, At the wrong time They get to be frauds With all of the benefits While we get left behind Eating gruel and grits The poor will serve the sentence for the rich That says it's fine for likes, It's fine for looks But you'll be fined for life for having been brought up In the wrong place, At the wrong time They get to be frauds With all of the benefits While we get left behind Eating gruel and grits The poor will serve the sentence for the rich
