In The Room lyrics - The Cribs

 Well maybe

Passive participant

Though the scene has changed

The game remains

Pre-determined

From straight suburban houses

They celebrate their own

Wish that I'd have known

Subscribing to the old standard

So what is it that's changing, really?

When the men in the room are still making all the rules?

Yeah, the old boys club does what it always does

And now they're going to judge me

And judge me from a privileged, rich kids point of view

Commodify the culture

Grab that corporate dollar for you

When your precious small town poetry

Meets big city reality

It's just business

So what is it that's changing, really?

When the men in the room are still making all the rules?

Yeah, the old boys club does what it always does

And now they're gonna try to judge me

And judge me from a privileged, rich kids point of view

You can't tell me cos I was in the room

I was in the room!

Privileged point of view!

So what is it that's changing, really?

When the men in the room are still making all the rules?

Yeah, the old boys club does what it always does

So if you're gonna go on and judge me

Then judge me from a privileged, rich kids point of view

Commodify the culture

Grab that corporate dollar for you
