Vampire Weekend - Prep-School Gangsters (Lyrics)

“Prep School Gangsters” by the band Vampire Weekend appears to explore the theme of elitism within the context of prestigious educational settings. It narrates the story of an individual who feels marginalized by a clique of privileged students, colloquially termed as ‘gangsters’ due to their control over social and academic gateways. The song critiques the exclusionary practices that have historically characterized such institutions, while also acknowledging the gradual shift towards inclusivity. Essentially, it’s a musical critique on the evolution of social stratification within educational circles. It was released on April 5, 2024.

• Vampire Weekend - Prep-School Gangsters (Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
It's just somethin' people say
They don't really feel that way
Prep-school gangsters make the call
As the summer turns to fall
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I was tired but wakin' up
I was dying to test my luck
Prep-school gangsters barred the way
There was nothin' I could say
[Chorus]
Call me jealous, call me mad
Now I got the thing you had
Somewhere in your family tree
There was someone just like me
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I was only walkin' by
Didn't mean to catch your eye
It's just somethin' people say
You could lose some teeth that way
[Chorus]
Call it business, call it war
Cutting class through revolvin' doors
Yours was bеtter, mine was worse
'Til it took on thе fifth-gen curse
Call me jealous, call me mad
Now I got the thing you had
Somewhere in your family tree
There was someone just like me
[Post-Chorus]
Me
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh
[Outro]
It's just somethin' people say
It's just somethin' people say
It's just somethin' people say
It's just somethin' people say
It's just somethin' people say

Imagine if you could have a personal assistant that’s a robot. What tasks would you have it do?
