Sophisticated Gentleman

from Urbanized New Wave Texican by Buenos Diaz

about

Fame and fortune can take you for a ride... that's what people chase these days in music ... celebrity. laugh in celebrity's face ... celebrate making it's ridiculousness through a song. Nothing fame and fortune brings matters

lyrics

Why can’t i be stoned
chasing dots in the back of my head
it’s a careless world
and I'm fighting for nothing but my own self destruction

Why can’t i be drunk
scribbling poetry lines that don’t make any sense
lighting cigarettes with style reserved for the most
sophisticated of gentleman

Why can’t i be a sycophant,
playing music suits me, can't you see my genius?
nice tie, nice car,
hey you, you’re pretty nice

Why can’t i be the underground sensation
that bursts onto the mainstream
i’ve been waiting, waiting, waiting,
i want my picture to be taken

why can’t i be these things
why? why can’t I?
why can’t i be these things?
why can’t i be these things?
