Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Robin, hope you don't mind me writing
It's just there's more than one thing I need to ask you
Yes, yes, yes, yes, you're so anti-fashion, so wear flares
Instead of dressing down all the same
[Verse 2]
It's just by looking like that, I can express my dissat'
Robin, let me explain, but you'd never see in a million years
Keep quoting Cabaret, Berlin, Burroughs
J.G., Ballard, Duchamp, Beauvoir,
Kerouac, Kierkegaard, Michael Rennie
And I don't believe you really like Frank Sinatra
[Verse 3]
Robin, you're always so happy, how the hell?
You're like a dumbed down patriot
Yes, yes, yes, yes, you're supposed to be so angry, why not fight?
Let me benefit from your right
[Verse 4]
And though the only way to change things
Is to shoot men who arrange things
Robin, I'd try to explain, but you'd never see in a million years
Well, you've made your rules, but we don't know that game
Well, then I'd listen to your records but your logic's far too lame
And I'd only waste three valuable minutes of my life with your insincere
[Verse 5]
You see, Robin, I've been searchin' for the young soul rebels
I've been searching everywhere, I can't find them anywhere
Where have you hidden them?
Maybe, maybe you should
Maybe you should welcome the new soul vision
Welcome the new soul vision
Welcome the new soul vision
Welcome the
[Verse 6]
You know the only way to change things
Is to shoot men who arrange things
Robin, I'd try to explain, but you'd never see in a million years
