Pretty people with family connections Trying to tell me about their lack of convention I've learned to smile through this Moving through worlds like a stewardess New York parties with people who'd never Speak to me if I didn't know someone better They're trying to get close to Seeing if I'm a pawn or a knight to 'em Just another friendly sociopath Trying to be a gate keeper in my path He knows I see through him Thinks I'm a danger to him 'Cause I don't mind burning bridges To gated houses I don't want to live in Where the things you used to laugh at Are the things that are in style And now you want to own them with your politician's smile But poverty's a feeling Money just can't buy Go hang your head and cry You privileged child Gentry girl with a bohemian heart Practiced conversations of how she lives for her art She feels dis-empowered Her turtleneck is two thousand dollars She reads the New Yorker and Neuchâtel Knows a hard-luck story plays very well She thinks she can claim it While cashing her father's last name in Listen, I don't begrudge the things you've been given I wish everyone could see the same way of living We get nothing from heartbreaks But the right to claim it, for f*ck's sake And it's not yours to take it and take it and take it And fake it and fake it When we all know you were born to make it And the things you used to laugh at Are the things that are in style And now you want to own them with your educated smile But poverty's a feeling Money just can't buy Go hang your head and cry You privileged child
