Wasted half my fuckin' life To learn the golden rule But now I just can't get ahead No matter what I do College education and punk is what to do I was told with proper schooling That I'd get much more Diplomas don't mean shit to a guy Who sweeps the floors It's a joke and I fell for it A piece of paper is all I have I keep it framed above my bed But I'd rather have decent job instead It only shows I wasted time When I finished school I thought that life Would soon be cool Now I work at hagen-daz and feelin' like a fool I like to dream of Wall St. when I'm sleeping in a slum Now I'm over-qualified and still a useless bum My accounting degree makes it so easy To figure 40 times the minimum wage I spend everyday handing out resumes It's no wonder that I'm filled with this never ending rage Gotta get a better job gotta make ends meet To get my mind out of the gutter and My ass off the street Way too many graduates and far too little jobs Feel like sending applications packed with letter bombs
