lyrics

Sittin’ on the back bench
Sipping a martini
Thinking "life’s a wrench"
Thinking "life’s a dream”
Hanging out in Houston
Waiting on a tip
Sowing the confusion
So the package gets shipped

So many deliveries
In so short of time
So many miseries
In the traffic line

Don't give me the burden of gift-wrapped china
Don't give me the inheritance of crystal glass
Don't give me advice, don’t give me a shiner
Don’t give me breakfast
Don't give me your sass

Call your local precinct
Put a call through to China
All the preachers
from your colorful past
All the privileged discretion and
that certain aggression
Do you love the sound of structured class?

Sittin' on the front porch
Still waiting on the lifeline
From the kind of folks
Who share opinions like mine
I’ve spent time in education
I’ve spent time in jail
I’ve drunk from the river basin
I have skied in Vail

Time in capsules, Vitamin C
Everybody knows this is nowhere but me
Everyone knows this is Valhalla or bust
An unliving will and a living mistrust

Sympathy for the devil
Is the last of your concerns
Bow down to your level
And attend to your burns
I have seen strong men crying out for help
I have pulled books from a very high shelf
The next time you call me
Make sure it's important
Withering on the vine
Living by appointment
Everyone’s outnumbered and no one has a pass
I love the sound of structured class

Sitting on a goldmine
Sitting on a fence
Forty thousand transgressions
And no defense

Poor Highway 61
Spread out like a rash
I love the sound of structured class

Do you love the sound of structured class?
Do you love the sound of structured class?
Do you love the sound of structured class?
Do you love the sound of structured class?
