Aristocracy: Thus all fairy stories end
My how the worm begins to turn
The actress hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear
only an actress could pretend
affairs of state are her latest plays
eight shows a week two matinees.
when will the chorus girl ever learn?
My how the worm begins to turn
when will the chorus girl ever learn?
she won't go scrambling over the backs of the poor to be accepted
by making donations just large enough to the correct charities.
She won't be president of your wonderful societies for philanthorpy.
Even if you asked her to be
as you should have asked her to be.
she won't join your clubs
she won't dance in your halls.
She won't help the hungry once a month at your tomballas
She'll simply take control as you disappear.
little has changed for us peasants down here on the ground
I hate to sound childish, ungrateful, I don't like to moan,
but do you now represent anyone's cause but your own?
