Verse 1
You got the look
but not the credit
They wrote the book
on how to sell it
From cigarettes
to skinny jeans
You got the money
they got the means
Refrain 1
Oh you upper class daughters
and working class sons
It's hard to save a dollar
the way the world runs
You're the target market
of a corporate joke
It won't be so ironic
when your daddy is broke
Chorus 1
Surprise surprise
surprise surprise
You're much better
looking when you're
in disguise
Surprise surprise
surprise surprise
And this revolution
has been brought to you by
Post Chorus: Dm---C-
Verse 2
Just gotta stop
so you can mimic
The tortured honest
the gyn is cynic
The latest gadget
is just a gimmick
Another sucker
born every minute
Well I'm sick of this
town bringing me down
A vast world epidemic
all around
I'm sick of this town
bringing me down
A lost generation
trying to act profound
Refrain 2
Oh you upper class daughters
and working class sons
It's hard to save a dollar
the way the world runs
We got a counterculture
you can buy of a shelf
If you're losing your
identity to somebody else
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Chorus 2
Those who seek to
think we don't care
And those who seek
to think we're not aware
Surprise surprise
surprise surprise
You're much better
looking when you're
in disguise

While Ian sing these lines:
Call the ranks
Call the ranks
Call the ranks
Refrain 3
Oh you upper class daughters
and working class sons
It's hard to save a dollar
the way the world runs
We're the target market
of a corporate hoax
Our generation is
a fucking joke
(Repeat Chorus 1)
