They're not that different than the other guys
The same movie stars they idolize
Are the ones that we
Take home at night

And they don't envy us anything
Not blonde looks, cars or varsity teams
Upper row seats
Jim Beam

He had a friend, a genius, he was used
To getting passed by
They sat and listened to "Joe The Lion"
And the animal grew inside

The L.I.R.R. can't hold them down
I should know I've seen them around
Skinny ties, bull's eyes
And strange new sounds

They just want all that their parents did
Gang of friends and gifts to give
Come on! Come on!
We all want to go kid!

He had a friend, a genius, he was used
To getting passed by
They sat and listened to songs of empire
And a tear...fell...from your eye...

Let's go! Come on! Shake it! Hey!

He had a friend, a genius, he was used
To getting passed by
They sat and listened to songs of empire
They sat and listened to songs of empire
They sat and listened to songs of empire
