They got the house on the corner
With the rug inside
They got the booze they need
All that money can buy
They got the shapely bods
They got the Steely Dan T-shirt
And for the coup-de-gras
They're outrageous
CHORUS
While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night
Show biz kids making movies
Of themselves you know they
Don't give a fuck about anybody else
This is still one of the best songs ever about the "celeb lifestyle" as we'd call it now, and the ironic dig of the band at themselves is so sharp. Great lyricists, great musicians.
