The Debutantes

lyrics

Ever since the day that you came to be
Everything you wanted you got for free.
And every day at fifteen after noon
Your lunch was served to you with a silver spoon.

Oh how will you know
When it’s time to go?

As time passes, you’re still the same.
Ignorance is bliss as you play your game.
You criticize and hypothesize.
Your nakedness is your disguise.

Oh what have you done?
Where will you run?

Chorus
Who knows what you’re gonna do
When it’s raining outside and there is nothing for you?
Who knows what you’re gonna do
When your brand new convertible is not quite so new?

It’s true that it’s not all your fault
That you got a whole lot in the vault.
And it doesn’t have to be your creed
To take so much more than you need.

Oh what have you done?
Where will you run?

You entered this world a long time ago.
You started a fight a long time ago.
You think that you are the real thing
But you’re only the beggar who bows to the king.

Chorus
