Vampire Weekend - The Kids Don't Stand A Chance lyrics

A devastatin' backstroke All the way from France With shiny, shiny cufflinks A shirtsleeve to enhance The pin-striped men of mornin' Are coming for to dance With pure Egyptian cotton The kids don't stand a chance You criticize the practice By murderin' the plans Ignorin' all the history Denyin' them romance The pin-striped men of mornin' Are comin' for to dance Forty million dollars The kids don't stand a chance I didn't like the business But that was at first glance Your pillow feels so soft now But still you must advance These pin-striped men of mornin' The partners in the dance The paper's shot to pieces The kids don't stand a chance
