Take a look around and what do I see
People are getting the best of me
Out to work to pay my bills
Sooner or later I'm over the hill
Busting the a** now I'm the fool
Because I'm playing by the rules
Examining life day by day
Wasting away is the price I pay
I can't just sit here and take this s***
Because I'm f*****' tired of it
Now tell me college is the key
You can fool them but you can't fool me
Or work until you're 65
How much longer will you survive
Promise me a f*****' pension
You f*** off that's my dissension
Now I focus, things are clear
Not accomplishing anything here
I look at my self and see my reflection
I'm headed in a new direction
Go to college for 6 years
Then you graduate
Be like everybody else
Bet you think is great
Cut your hair and get a job
So you can relate
Realize your youth is gone
To turn back is too late
Take a look around and what do I see
People are getting the best of me
Out tot work to pay the bills
Sooner or later I'm over the hill
Busting my a** now I'm the fool
Because I'm playing by the rules
Examining life day by day
Wasting away is the price to pay
I can't just sit here and take this s***
Because I'm f*****' tired of it
Now tell me college is the key
You can fool them you can't fool me
Or work until you're 65
Now much longer will you survive
Promise me a f*****' pension
You can f*** off that's my destiny
People are getting the best of me
