Sophistication

It’s your first pack of cigarettes
and then you started going downtown
You always tried to make the scene
But they don’t want you hangin’ round

You can’t buy sophistication, and
You can’t buy determination, and
Don’t know what can make you understand
You can’t hold problems in your hand

Now everybody’s coming in
And they all want to get a piece
Oh yeah you think you’re making friends
But they’re just people that you meet

You’re calm collected and you’re cool
But it don’t really mean a thing
Don’t want the money or the fame
Just want the happiness it brings
Oh yeah you thought it would
And you thought it would but you…

You can’t buy sophistication, and
You can’t buy determination, and
Don’t know what can make you understand
You can’t hold problems in your hand
Problems in your hand
In your hand
Hand
