lyrics

NO RESPECT

The Queen won't give you any respect
No respect, no, no, no respect
Mr. Redding ain't ready to
Rise from his tomb to offer you respect
Even our founding fathers could not be bothered
Rolling, rolling, spinning rolling, spinning rolling in their graves

All you ever wanted was your daddy's affection
He never even noticed you, no respect
Those socialites you paid for sex with promises got no respect
Your trophy wives must regret that first moment when you met
You can spread around some cash but it won't buy respect
They'll just lie to your face then cut you down when you walk away

You crave to be accepted and yearn to be a star
Still a vulgar petty conman is all you really are
New money, gaudy taste, so in love with your own face
Mirrors crack at your gaze you're an inverse Dorian Grey
And in your tiny heart you know one thing is true
Anyone with any class can see right through you

You're the riff without the raff
High on grift and telling gaffes
Reality's a bitch
You're in over your head this time
And there's no way to make it alright

No respect, no, no, no respect
