By the cut of your cloth and the shine of your shoes
I can see that you know far too well to choose lose
And somethings off-key when you sing the blues,
You gotta suffer for your art.

Your fridge is always full and the wine is on ice,
You watch 100 different channels, something real would be nice
But passion ain't in fashion, and you won't pay that price
It could melt your frozen heart...

Do you wear black sir?
To which side do you dress?
Do you wear black sir?
You can always pay less....

On account of your interests your assets won't fall
Numbers in a shining sea, flashing on the wall...
When you chew over life, it don't make you feel small,
Everything has it's price.
Your ties to your old school are easy to see
Your shoes are spit shiny by people like me,
And the nuts at the bar, are the only things free...
Do you want some advice?

Do you wear black sir?
To which side do you dress?
Do you wear black sir?
You can always pay less....

The catalogues full of chrome-plated crap,
The des-res revolting, you're caught in the trap,
The equity's negative, you're minding the gap,
That grows ever further.
Head-hunted by old men, who steal people's souls,
For a company car, or a watch when you're old,
And the deal's only sealed when you're blue and gone cold,
The 9 to 5 murder.
