Let Me Tell You I Get No Respect

Let Me Tell You I Get No Respect What's wrong with society today let me say It's not fashionable anymore to hold open the door You just nod your heads and claim that was so 1964 Through field and stream were living in the land of mean Snap shot moments of celebrity's in their prime It was the 80's and everyone was dropping and doing a line Let me tell you I get no respect said the famed of Rodney D, Flip flops were all the rage with hair spray in the ladies braids Regarding those times we would often stand in line The high gas prices & hostages being held in Iran We waited for somebody with a voice to stand Waiting in the sidelines for a fitting master plan Graves were being dug many people in the trenches I called suicide pevention & they put me on hold Now you will do as you are told until the rights to you are sold Theatres being filled with the likes of Jaws & Star Wars, People were getting busy while on the dance floor at Studio 54 Warhol had his campbell soup cans one man with a plan Let me tell you I get no respect in a new wave culture in a mess Shattered dreams filtered through the scene filled with evil schemes The likes of Frank Sinatra was still the thrill of us all Back then all the heads stayed put at their local mall Take me back to those days of the past so much fun that it would last
