Travesty Lyrics

Moved out of the suburbs like you said you would

Bought an apartment on the Upper East Side

Prom queen with a pretty face

That no one could ever deny

Living in that joint you can't afford

With no handle on the heat

Better find a way to make some quick money

Or you'll wind up on the street

Wouldn't that be such a travesty?

Hard to watch, easy to see

It would come as no surprise to me

But it would be a travesty

Going out every night just to be worry free

Leaving that penthouse black and cold

Meeting fine dishonest gentlemen

Who are shit and say you're gold

Can't give up your illusion of wealth

And go back to where you came

Everyone would turn their backs

No one would treat you the same

Wouldn't that be such a travesty?

Hard to watch, easy to see

It would come as no surprise to me

But it would be a travesty

Get a job and go to work

You might hit the sky

You and I are not the same

Not even when we get high

Squandering any sense of pride

Don't take it out on me

You've always been so frivolous

But this is just a travesty

Wouldn't that be such a travesty?

Hard to watch, easy to see

It would come as no surprise to me

But it would be a travesty
