Straight lace and white collar   This is our digression   Asking more than they can offer now      Please allow me to diagnose this here   It's a major lack of empathy   For a seeking generation that's    Hopelessly off course   But instead of showing love   We're showing them the door      They say I'm susceptible while reaching out   But in this version of the truth   There's no room for them      Straight lace and white collar   This is our digression   Asking more than they can offer    Oh, standards   How could they possibly handle them all?      Please allow an apology on our behalf   Oh, broken child, have you fallen through the cracks?   Is this reality we've made your hell on Earth?   You're inflicting pain on yourself that we deserve      You say I'll desire you when you desire me   I'm so easy to ignore when you won't look at me      Straight lace and white collar   This is our digression   Asking more than they can offer    Oh, standards   How could they possibly handle them all?      Who's the victim here?      Straight lace and white collar   This is our digression   Asking more than they can offer       Straight lace and white collar   This is our digression   Asking more than they can offer    Oh, standards   How could they possibly handle them all?
