Dashboard Confessional - Matters Of Blood And Connection Lyrics
Why Do You Speak With That Accent Now?Everyone Knows You're Not From The Streets.You Went To Prep School In Cambridge,With Daughters And Sons Of The Privileged Elite.Their Fortunes From Shipping And Industry,Their Futures In Yacht Clubs And Tails.So Why Do You Speak With That Accent Now?Everyone Knows You're Moonlighting Here.To Avail Yourself Of Your Heritage,For A Season Or Two In The Sun.Draw Well From The Funds In The Trust,Thanks To The Fathers Of Fortunate Sons,For Us It's A Matter Of Charging The GatesFor You It's A Matter Of Blood And ConnectionsOf Blood And Connections.So Who Do You Fool With That Costume Now?Everyone Knows You're Not Who You SeemYou've Got A Hard Way About OuFor Someone Whose Passage Is Already PaidBy The Sins And The Schemes Of Your FatherAnd The Infinite Reach Of His ArmDraw Well From The Funds In The Trust,Thanks To The Fathers Of Fortunate Sons,For Us It's A Matter Of Charging The GatesFor You It's A Matter Of BloodDrink Well From Your Bottomless CupAnd Bask In Your Good FortuneFor Us It's A Matter Of Charging The GatesFor You It's A Matter Of Blood And ConnectionsSo Where Will You Be When You Tire Of The FunThe Escape, The Charade, And Your Time In The SunI Know Everyone Does Their Own ReinventionBut Yours Has A Taste That's Hard To SwallowAnd What Will You Tell Of Your Tenure With Us?Will You Build Yourself Up, Like The Size Of Your Hunt?If They're Anything Like What You've Been Telling Us,Those Stories Will Make True BelieversOf The Chumps And The Fools.So Why Do You Speak With That Accent Now?Everyone Knows You're Not From The Streets.
