Upstart - Queens Club

Hard working man, he’s got his hopes set high

The city pays him so the rich don’t cry, his

Practice of settlement will keep their pockets full, but

There in the end he never got used to it

Sometimes I feel like I wanna die

It’s starting up

I’m sure that I’ll get used to anything but this

And all the wait-and-see's

They never really came to me

Should I hide-and-seek?

My mother taught me not to cheat

Oh, would you shut him up?

Oh, would you please shut up?

'Cause I’m starting up

Upstart, you know I’m down

For anything I’ve missed

Now it’s starting to get old and he’s getting pretty tired

Only living his life on the sunny side

He’s got a real sweet lady, gonna soon make her his wife

But this money-making mindset has put a thorn in his side, you know

Sometimes I feel like I’m gonna cry

It’s starting up

Not sure that I’ll get used to anything like this

And all the wait-and-see's

They never really came to me

Should I hide-and-seek?

My brothers taught me how to cheat

Oh, did I

Oh, would you shut him up?

Oh, would you please shut up?

'Cause I’m starting up

Upstart, you know I’m down

For anything I’ve missed

Whoa-oh, would you shut him up?

Oh, would you please shut up?

'Cause I’m starting up

Upstart, you know I’m down

For anything I’ve missed

He says, «I miss those days when the going was easy

Got a soda in my hand and my pocketbook’s empty»

Says, «I wanna go to heaven, but I ain’t in a hurry

Love the land and all we fools and know that God is my witness»

Sometimes I feel I can’t get started up

Left my heart in my stomach so I feel ill everyday

The wait-and-see's

They never really came to me

Should I hide-and-seek?

My brothers taught me how to cheat

We are the fools and we’re running this town

So let’s listen to Bob Dylan and watch the walls falling down

Right now!

Oh, would you shut him up?

Oh, would you please shut up?

'Cause I’m starting up

Upstart, you know I’m down

For anything I’ve missed

Right now!

Oh, would you shut him up?

Oh, would you please shut up?

'Cause I’m starting up

Upstart, you know I’m down

For anything I’ve missed

Yeah!
