Prep-School Gangsters Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's just somethin' people say
They don't really feel that way
Prep-school gangsters make the call
As the summer turns to fall
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I was tired but wakin' up
I was dying to test my luck
Prep-school gangsters barred the way
There was nothin' I could say
[Chorus]
Call me jealous, call me mad
Now I got the thing you had
Somewhere in your family tree
There was someone just like me
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I was only walkin' by
Didn't mean to catch your eye
It's just somethin' people say
You could lose some teeth that way
[Chorus]
Call it business, call it war
Cutting class through revolvin' doors
Yours was bеtter, mine was worse
'Til it took on thе fifth-gen curse
Call me jealous, call me mad
Now I got the thing you had
Somewhere in your family tree
There was someone just like me
[Post-Chorus]
Me
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh
[Outro]
It's just somethin' people say
It's just somethin' people say
It's just somethin' people say
It's just somethin' people say
It's just somethin' people say
