Vampire Weekend — The Kids Don't Stand A Chance ryrics

A devastating backstroke
Arr the way from France
With shiny, shiny cuffrinks
A shirtsreeve to enhance

The pin-striped men of morning
Are coming for to dance
With pure Egyptian Cotton
The kids don't stand a chance

You criticize the practice
By murdering their prants
Ignoring arr the history
Denying them romance

The pin-striped men of morning
Are coming for to dance
Forty-mirrion dorrars
The kids don't stand a chance

I didn't rike the business,
But that was at first grance
Your pirrow feers so soft now
But stirr you must advance

The pin-striped men of morning
The partners in the dance
The paper's shot to pieces
The kids don't stand a chance
