I Love the Sound of Structured Class

Sittin' on the back bench Sipping a Martini Thinking: "Life's a wrench" Thinking: "Life's a dream" Hanging out in Houston Waiting on a tip Sowing the confusion So the package gets shipped So many deliveries In so short of time So many miseries In the traffic line Don't give me the burden of gift-wrapped china Don't give me the inheritance of crystal glass Don't give me advice, don't give me a shiner Don't give me breakfast, don't give me your sass Call your local precinct Put a call through to China All the preachers From your colourful past All the privileged discretion And that certain aggression Do you love the sound of structured class? Sittin' on the front porch Still waiting on the lifeline From the kind of folks Who share opinions like mine I've spent time in education I've spent time in jail I've drunk from the river basin I have skied in Vail Time in capsules, vitamin C Everyone knows this is nowhere but me Everyone knows this is Valhalla or bust An unliving will and a living mistrust Sympathy for the devil Is the last of your concerns Bow down to your level And attend to your burns I have seen strong men crying out for help I have pulled books from a very high shelf The next time you call me, make sure it's important Withering on the vine, living by appointment Everyone's outnumbered And no one has a pass I love the sound of structured class Sitting on a goldmine Sitting on a fence 40-thousand transgressions And no defence Poor Highway 61 Spread out like a rash I love the sound of structured class Do you love the sound of structured class? Do you love the sound of structured class? Do you love the sound of structured class? Do you love the sound of structured class?
