lyrics
How the other half live
Is no concern of mine
apparently, aristocracy has its perks
And when the last few jars of caviar
Come rollin' through and through
Is it brain or braun that will help me find you
And then somebody new appeared and asked me what I'd heard
I told them all I knew but christ I struggled for the words
With seven naked ladies he's a crowd pleasing man
Curling the drain is it real or not
When life gets in the way is that real or not
I know my place, it is
Somewhere in between the years
I can't be everything you want me to be but I can try
Oh the misanthropes will show you the ropes
Oh the next big thing is when they certainly bring
new rules into play you're unable to change
Oh an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind
Do you see
And following a lead I fall in and out of style
Brandishing my thoughts I feel naked by design
Lying languid in a belvedere with heated pool and bar
Curling the drain is it real or not
When life gets in the way is that real or not
I know my place, it is
Somewhere in between the years
Good thing I know my place
It takes time to heal
good thing I act my age
Give them an inch they;; take a mile
I know my place
And this is weird
But something tells me it's not here
It's not here
