Wasted half my f*****' 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 s*** 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 b**
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 a** off the street
Way too many graduates and far too little jobs
Feel like sending applications packed with letter bombs
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 s*** 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 b**
My accounting degree makes it so easy
