Vampire Weekend - The Kid's Don't Stand A Chance lyrics

A devastating backstroke

All the way from France

With shiny, shiny cufflinks

A shirtsleeve to enhance

The pin-striped men of morning

Are coming for 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 for 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
