White Collar Boy

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You're a white collar boy and you gave into the law

Give in to the pressure the cops gonna getcha

You were a thieving dog at work until they caught your little paw

Your wage won't stretch, to picking up checks

A custodial sentence you narrowly avoided

Community service you had to go along with

You're banging the rocks at the old city docks

Poor boy poor boy poor boy poor boy

You were chained to a girl that would kill you with a look

It's a nice way to die she's so easy on the eye

She said let's get away, but you played it by the book

You're a warden's pet, she's a screaming suffragette

"We ain't in prison, we'll just finish up and go home"

She said, "Not for me, I've got plans for later on"

So she belted the sarge and she jumped on a barge

You fell, you fell you fell you fell

White collar, got dirt in your pants

You got egg in your hair

You got spit in your chin

White collar, scared to be bored

Blue Collar, she's opening doors

White collar boy, on the run from the law

She said "You ain't ugly, you can kiss me if you like"

Go ahead and kiss her, you don't know what you're missing

You said "Baby, you're special,

But there's something not quite right."

She's a Venus in flares and you wanna split hairs!

"I am innocent, you are a rocket.

Things were ok till you took out the copper"

Leave me alone, and get used to the chains

You're a pain, a pain, a pain, a pain

White collar, got dirt in your pants

You got egg in your hair

You got spit in your chin

White collar, scared to be bored

Blue Collar, she's opening doors

White collar boy, on the run from the law
