"The Kids Don't Stand a Chance"

A devastating backstroke

All the way from France

With shiny, shiny cufflinks

A shirtsleeve to enhance

The pin-striped men of morning

Are coming forward to dance

With pure Egyptian Cotton

The kids don't stand a chance

You criticize the practice

By murdering their plants

Ignoring all the history

Denying them romance

The pin-striped men of morning

Are coming forward 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

The pin-striped men of morning

The partners in the dance

The paper's shot to pieces

The kids don't stand a chance
