The Kids Don't Stand a Chance Lyrics

Cover art for The Kids Don't Stand a Chance lyrics by Vampire Weekend

according to the album lyrics it IS devastating backstroke And it's MORNING not MOURNING (although maybe meant as a double entendre?)

It just occurred to me that possibly the pin striped men of morning dancing with the pure egyptian cotton is a poetic image of morning sunlight on bedsheets and that this is most likely a morning after song.

An amazing night somewhere dressed to the nines and then later some devastating maneuvers, and in the heat and magic of the moment it is nothing but momentous, but come the morning, it is apparent that nothing else will/could come of this triste, hence the kids don't stand a chance.

dont know about the business or the practice or the 40 million maybe it's the plot to another independent film.
