Why do you sp G eak with that accent Am now?
Everyone kn F ows you're not from the st C reets.
You went to p G rep school in Cambridge, Am
With daughters and s F ons of the privileged el C ite.
Their fortunes from shi G pping and industry Am ,
Their futures in ya F cht clubs and tails. C
So why do you sp G eak with that accent n Am ow?
Everyone kn F ows you're moonlighting h Am ere.
To avail yourself of your he F ritage,
For a season or two in the s C un.
Draw well from the funds in the t G rust,
Thanks to the fathers of fortunate s Am ons,
For us it's a matter of ch F arging the gates
For you it's a matter of b C lood and conn G ections
Of bl C ood and conne G ctions. C
So who do you f G ool with that costume n Am ow?
Everyone kn F ows you're not who you s C eem
You've got a ha G rd way about you Am
For someone whose p F assage is already p Am aid
By the sins and the schemes of your fa F ther
And the infinite reach of his a C rm
Draw well from the funds in the t G rust,
Thanks to the fathers of fortunate s Am ons,
For us it's a matter of cha F rging the gates
For you it's a matter of bl C ood
Drink well from your bottomless c G up
And bask in your good fo Am rtune
For us it's a matter of ch F arging the gates
For you it's a matter of bl G ood and conne Am ctions
So where will you be when you tire of the f C un
The escape, the charade, and your time in the s F un
I know everyone does their own reinve C ntion
But yours has a ta G ste that's hard to sw Am allow
And what will you tell of your tenure with C us?
Will you build yourself up, like the size of your h F unt?
If they're anything like what you've been telling C us,
Those stories will m G ake true believers
Of the chumps and the foo C ls.
So why do you sp G eak with that accent n Am ow?
Everyone kn F ows you're not from the str C eets.
