Upperclass lowlifes light their cigarettes too soon
Staying up past midnight, sleeping in all afternoon
Kids love pretending, imitating T.V. screens
Half wasted from stolen drinks and the nicotine
Those upperclass lowlifes, don’t they think they know everything
And they clap for all the wrong things
Like a pianist hitting all the right keys
Ignoring stop signs, burning gasoline
Upperclass lowlifes, don’t drop out of high school
From parent expectations
Quietly they break the rules
College degree, then you get your wedding ring
Upperclass lowlifes
Get pregnant, start a family
Whoa, she loves summer rain
Oh, it’s her excuse to sit inside and drink
Yeah, you’re just a…
Upperclass lowlifes, light their cigarettes too soon.
