Sorry Kid Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fake it
Take the cash and all the jewels
The world was made for only you
Take it if you will
To be a magpie in the safe
Sure must be a tempting place
And now they let you in
Not crawling 'round on all fours
The art shows, the marble floors
Take care of yourself
See we all must be amused
That's why we make the rules
[Chorus]
Well, the shakers got the money now
Movers and the shakers
They're buying up thе big lots now
What a girl to take it
What a girl to take it
[Verse 2]
Fake it if you will
Shе's finding it hard
She likes the big cars
Well I’m staying put
Drowning in the white art
Fool is he who plays a part
In nothing at all
You know they marked the bank notes
The ones in all the long coats
Suffer, you'll see
To play the game without a hand
You really must be a stand up man!
[Chorus]
Well the shakers got the money now
The movers and the shakers
They're buying up the big lots now
What a girl to take it
What a girl to take it
[Bridge]
And she needs it bad
Well, everybody had
A friend like that
[Chorus]
Well the shakers got the money now
The movers and the shakers
They're buying up the big lots now
What a girl to take it
What a girl to take it
Well the shakers got the money now
The movers and the shakers
They're buying up the big lots now
What a girl to take it
What a girl to take it

That was very much a room dictating what a track would sound like. The idea I had was loosely based on Anna Sorokin and the run of it that she had. The whole thing just seemed like a little pocket in culture that seemed quite enter...
