well dressed but illiterate
he's never one for etiquette
if you ask him what he thinks
you wouldn't understand
spends his days on leather seats
his phd and philosophy
pondering the difference
between a boy and a man
charlie i want to be like you
and catch the stares the way you do
cool ray bans and your name brand sweater
you take the best things and you make them better
he's got no tongue in his cheek
people listen when he speaks
he dogmatizes the unity of opposites
says the world is gray
and there's no reason to behave
and life is more than rules and dominance
charlie i want to be like you
and catch the stares the way you do
cool ray bans and your name brand sweater
you take the best things and you make them better
