Lyrics

Did you see that face
On the cover of the Village Voice
How'd it get there
Who made the choice

There's a social reason
For who goes far
A social reason
For who's a star

See that person
At the front of the line
Hey, that space
Used to be mine

And there's a social reason
Why I'm not there
A social reason
And it's not fair

If you've got the right contacts
You can have the wrong act
'Cause who you know and who you screw
Is more important than what you do
Hey

See that name
In big, bold print
How'd it get there
Here's a hint

There's a social reason
Why it's there
And there's a social reason
And it's not fair

There's a social reason
Why I'm not there
A social reason
And it's not fair
