Steely Dan
Show Biz Kids
They got the house on the corner
With the rug inside
They got the booze they need
All that money can buy
They got the shapely bodies
They got the Steely Dan T-shirt
And for the Coup de grâce
They're outrageous
Oh, honey let me tell you:
While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night
to which I must add:
Show Business kids
Making movies of themselves
You know they don't give a fuck
About anybody else you know you go to...
Chorus
While the poor people sleeping
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleeping
All the stars come out at night
and also say:
This,
this right here,
is what's happening.
today.
Forewarned
isn't always
forearmed,
nor is it
always foresighted.
We are heavy
into
the "isn't always forearmed'
desperation therapy moment
over the remains of
what's left of our humanity.
This is some complicated shit.
