"Prep-School Gangsters" lyrics - VAMPIRE WEEKEND

It's just somethin' people say
They don't really feel that way
Prep-school gangsters make the call
As the summer turns to fall

[Instrumental break]

I was tired but wakin' up
I was dying to test my luck
Prep-school gangsters barred the way
There was nothin' I could say

[Chorus:]
Call me jealous, call me mad
Now I got the thing you had
Somewhere in your family tree
There was someone just like me

[Instrumental break]

I was only walkin' by
Didn't mean to catch your eye
It's just somethin' people say
You could lose some teeth that way

[Chorus:]
Call it business, call it war
Cutting class through revolvin' doors
Yours was better, mine was worse
'Til it took on the fifth-gen curse
Call me jealous, call me mad
Now I got the thing you had
Somewhere in your family tree
There was someone just like me

[Post-Chorus:]
Me
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh

[Outro:]
It's just somethin' people say
It's just somethin' people say
It's just somethin' people say
It's just somethin' people say
It's just somethin' people say
