Mark Oliver Everett - Gentlemen's Choice lyrics

[Verse 1]: Slept in all day In dirty sheets The stain on my shirt Been there for weeks [Chorus]: When I was young I had a dream I would be held in high esteem I thought I'd end up a gentleman Distinguished, respected, refined The life that I've led It's better unsaid The world has no use for my kind [Verse 2]: Too many years Getting my way Never let anyone Have their say [Chorus]: How could I think it would work out? Never a question, never a doubt I thought I'd end up a gentleman Accomplished, revered and admired The life that I've led I'm better off dead The world has no room for my kind
