White Collar Boy Belle and Sebastian

[Verse 1]
You're a white collar boy and you gave into the law
(Give in to the pressure, the cops gonna get you)
You were a thieving dog at work until they caught your little paw
(Your wage won't stretch, to picking up checks)
A custodial sentence you narrowly avoided
Community service you had to go along with
You're banging the rocks at the old city docks
(Poor boy, poor boy, poor boy, poor boy)
(Boy, poor boy, poor boy, poor boy)

[Verse 2]
You were chained to a girl that would kill you with a look
(It's a nice way to die, she's so easy on the eye)
She said let's get away, but you played it by the book
(You're a warden's pet, she's a screaming suffragette)
We ain't in prison, we'll just finish up and go home
She said, 'Not for me, I've got plans for later on'
So she belted the sarge and she jumped on a barge
(You fell, you fell, you fell, you fell)
(Fell, you fell, you fell, you fell)

[Chorus]
White collar, got dirt in your pants
You got egg in your hair
You got spit in your chin
You're a white collar, scared to be bored
Blue collar, she's opening doors
White collar boy on the run from the law
