Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Well now we’re respected in society
We don’t worry about the things that we used to be
We’re talking heroin with the president
Well it’s a problem, sir, but it can’t be bent
Uh yes!

Well now you’re a pillar of society
You don’t worry about the things that you used to be
You’re a rag-trade girl, you’re the queen of porn
You’re the easiest lay on the White House lawn
Get out of my life, don’t come back
Get out of my life, don’t come back

She’s so respectable
She’s so respectable
She’s so delectable
She’s so respectable
Get out of my life
Don’t take my wife
Don’t come back
Get out of my life
Don’t take my wife
Don’t come back
What I say!

She’s so respectable
She’s so respectable
She’s so respectable
She’s so respectable
Get out of my life
Don’t take my wife
Don’t come back
Oh get out of my life
Don’t take my wife
Don’t come back

She’s so respectable
She’s so respectable
She’s so delectable
She’s so respectable
Get out of my life
Don’t take my wife
Don’t come back…woo!
Get out of life
Don’t take my wife
Don’t come back
Get out of my life
Don’t take my wife
Don’t come back, come back, hey

Ah, it ain’t so easy is it? you almost lost your place.
And perhaps you’re wondering how you’re going to cope with your disgrace.
Well your wealth is well established and your friends were never few,
And all the things they told you of you’re finding to be true.
Well if truth can free the guilty while the innocent must die,
Then i respect, respect, respect the coldest lie.

And you talk of human justice while you drive on fancy wheels.
And you push them to their limit just to see how nice it feels.
Well it doesn’t really matter if she’s living or she’s dead,
You just drive away forgetting that your bumper’s dipped in red.
Well if that’s the kind of justice that our hall of justice claims,
Then i respect, respect, respect old jesse james.

And most cordially they caught you and they asked you to obey.
And they threw you into prison, just in case you could not pay.
Well king arthur jousted lancelot, who stole away his wife;
And your lawyers jousted with the court to save your precious life.
Well if living is what matters though you lie with every breath,
Then i respect, respect, the ones we put to death.

And you won your case most easily and soon you will be free.
But there will be a million more who lose their liberty.
Not because of what they did, but what they did not do:
They did not pay a lawyer or a judge to see them through.
Why, they had no friends to call on and they could not raise their bail.
Well if winning is what matters, i respect the ones who fail.

There’s a rich boy
but he doesn’t spend
he just drinks his Poland Spring
he’s a quick boy walkin’ round the bend
or at home alone reading
and he wants to do good
and he wants to do right
so he does what he should
but he’s got to subscribe
to the rules of the tribe
now you’re
playin’ for the team
everybody loves to love a winner
and you’re bustin’ the beguine
everybody knows you’re no beginner
but ah the bums say oh
things ain’t what they seem

you’re the respectable member of society
but you don’t have nothin’ on me
you gotcha east side certified pedigree
but you won’t have nothin’ you’ll see
because I warned you
they would scorn you
but you never did a thing

when you go in for the kill
everybody wants to make it happen
and you make a hundred mil
everybody wants to scratch your back then
but ah the freaks say oh
things ain’t what they seem

you’re a respectable member of society
but you don’t have nothin’ on me
you gotcha uppercrust dinner tux sanctimony
but you won’t have nothin’ you’ll see
because I told you
they would mold you
but you never did a thing

are you gonna tell
are you gonna hide
are you
gonna join the crowd or split
who are you payin’
ah what are you sayin’
are you gonna sell
are you gonna buy
are you gonna fizzle out or hit
where are you layin’
ah what are you sayin’

he’s a grown man
and he wears a tie
and his laugh is hard and fast
he’s a old man
far before his time
and his jacket holds a flask
and he tried to do good
and he tried
to do right
so he did what he could
but he had to subscribe
to the rules of the tribe

now you’re lookin’ for a queen
everybody talks too much and argues
and it makes you wanna scream
don’t these little punks
realize who they’re talkin’ to
but ah the scrubs say oh
things ain’t what they seem

you’re a respectable member of society
but you don’t have nothin’ on me
you gotcha caterers and prada and your maitre’d
but you won’t have nothin’ you’ll see
because I warned you
they would burn you
but you never did a thing
you’re the respectable members of society
but you don’t have nothin on me
you’re the respectable members of society
you’re so respectable
you’re the respectable members of
you’re so respectable
