All the kids from 916 came down   And were misdirected trying to find the grounds   The Regency Hotel   Prom royals eyeing adult-life means to excel      Down into the city-planning flats   Near Victoria Park a block they gathered at   Old masters on the door   Re-styled to stand for some political reform      Under-civilized time, older-siblingized crime   And my car got stripped to the frame   And well it feels about the same   Lots of distance gone in vain   And darlings this one is for you   I've tried subtlety before but I will not anymore      For some looking down surveillance vans   M.I.T. grad alley cats with time on their hands   Oh sergeant, I'm sorry   In my line of work they don't teach no courtesy      Gifted children link your arms in rhyme   Better make this world while still it gives you time   Oh will you look so vain   Left to the purging jets like garbage in the rain   Wish I could with someone what I do alone      Should I just stay at home?   Should I just make the whole thing up as I go?   But what do I really know?   Lots of quickness now turned slow   And darlings this one is for you   I've tried subtlety before but I will not anymore
