Well maybe
Passive participant
Though the scene has changed
The game remains
Pre-determined
From straight suburban houses
They celebrate their own
Wish that I'd have known
Subscribing to the old standard
So what is it that's changing, really?
When the men in the room are still making all the rules?
Yeah, the old boys' club does what it always does
And now they're going to judge me
And judge me from a privileged, rich kid's point of view
Commodify the culture
Grab that corporate dollar for you
When your precious small town poetry
Meets big city reality
It's just business
So what is it that's changing, really?
When the men in the room are still making all the rules?
Yeah, the old boys' club does what it always does
And now they're gonna try to judge me
And judge me from a privileged, rich kids' point of view
You can't tell me 'cos I was in the room
I was in the room
I was in the room
♪
Privileged point of view
Privileged point of view
(I could shave my hair, cut my head off
Just do whatever it takes to fit in)
So what is it that's changing, really?
When the men in the room are still making all the rules?
Yeah, the old boys' club does what it always does
So if you're gonna go on and judge me
Then judge me from a privileged, rich kid's point of view
Commodify the culture
Grab that corporate dollar for you
