There was a movie with the line:
“We are all told, at some point in time, that we can no longer play the children’s game; we just don’t know when that’s going to be. Some of us are told at 18, some of us are told at 40. But we are all told.”
Steely Dan, with this track, told all of us that we can no longer play the children’s game.

They tell me to see my pastor but I don’t go,
’cause they all be on this one street,
so I take it on myself to thank him one deep,
and give my money to the most needy,
and never put it in the hands of the most greedy.
’cause they’re putting a price tag on a man’s word;
and it’s a fashion show, so the men flirt.
“The world is ending” so they try to make us switch fast,
and they opening up these churches for some quick cash;
and using the money for their new cribs,
While brother Johnson just got kicked out where he lives.
I follow no man, cause man be phoney.
