Annotated lyrics for The Hold Steady song 'Entitlement Crew' - Tequila Takeoff. Tecate landing. / Sorry about the centerpiece. Thanks for understanding. / Soft salesmen. Hard branding. Campari. Commissions. / I was sitting on the kitchen tryna guess where she was living now. / Hotel room in Houston with the shades against the sunshine. / Or maybe still in Scranton like in 1999. / When I saw her rolling through with the Entitlement Crew. / I wasn't all that into it but there was nothing I could do about it. / Now heres the church, here's the steeple / I like the party favors but I hate the party people. / Got distracted by the chorus where the kids all sang along. / Move to the rouge set. I always really liked that song. / You like that song too. I know that you do. / I saw you mouthing all the words / When you didn't know I was watching you. / Now everything is brittle and it's breaking apart. / Your sister's in Seattle and she's sleeping with the Sharps. / I remember we used to play in this park. / Thanks for listening. Thanks for understanding. / Can't you see how I feel a bit abandoned? / Never got to say goodbye to you. / Give my best to the Entitlement Crew. / Tecate landing. Tequila takeoff. / Colfax cookout. Pillsbury bakeoff. / Too many cracks in the bathroom. Too many kooks in the kitchen. / It would probably be easier if I knew where she was living now. / I know you probably feel the same way as I feel / Like I'm not sure that we can pull off such an intricate deal. / Now all of it's killer but it's coming up quick. / And your brother's in Boston and he's acting like a dick. / I remember back before we knew he was sick. / Thanks for listening. Thanks for understanding. / Can't you see how I feel a bit abandoned? / Never got to say goodbye to you. / Give my best to the Entitlement Crew. / / Distant systems in the dark and people dancing. / Thanks for listening. Thanks for understanding. / Nodding off to The American Ruse. / Give my best to the Entitlement Crew. / Thanks for listening. Thanks for understanding. / Tequila takeoff. Tecate landing / Never got to say goodbye to you. / Give my best to the Entitlement Crew.
