Straight lace and white collar
this is our digression
asking more than they can offer now

please allow me to diagnose this here
it’s a major lack of empathy
for a seeking generation that’s
hopelessely off course
but instead of showing love
we’re showing them the door

they say, i’m succeptable while reaching out
but in this version of the truth
there’s no room for them

straight lace and white collar
this is our digression
asking more than they can offer
oh standards
how could they possibly handle them all?

please allow an apology on our behalf
oh broken child have you fallen through the cracks?
is this reality we’ve made your hell on earth?
you’re inflicting pain on yourself
that we deserve

you say, i’ll desire you when you desire me
i’m so easy to ignore
when you won’t look at me

straight lace and white collar
this is our digression
asking more than they can offer
oh standards
how could they possibly handle them all?

who’s the victim here?
