"Prep-School Gangsters"

It's just somethin' people say, they don't really feel that way
Prep-school gangsters make the call, as the summer turns to fall
I was tired but wakin' up, I was dying to test my luck
Prep-school gangsters barred the way, there was nothin' I could say
Call me jealous, call me mad, now I've got the thing you had
Somewhere in your family tree, there was someone just like me
I was only walkin' by, didn't mean to catch your eye
It's just somethin' people say, you could lose some teeth that way
Call it business, call it war, cutting class through revolvin' doors
Yours was better, mine was worse, 'til it took on the fifth-gen curse
Call me jealous, call me mad, now I've got the thing you had
Somewhere in your family tree, there was someone just like me
Me, ooh, ooh
Ah-ah-ah, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
It's just somethin' people say, it's just somethin' people say
It's just somethin' people say, it's just somethin' people say
It's just somethin' people say
