College Kids

someone please save us, us college kids!

what my parents told me is what i did

they said go to school and be a college kid

but in the end i question why i did

i'm poor, i'm starving, i'm flat broke, i've got no cash to spend

sell all my books for front row tickets to dave matthews band

my girlfriend's at another school, i know this year will test her

i called, found out she had three other boyfriends last semester

and that's why i say

oh no! not for me, not for me

call it torture, call it university

no! arts and crafts is all i need

i'll take calligraphy and then i'll make a fake degree

80 grand later i found out that all that i had learned

is that you should show up to take your finals and your midterms

the party scene is kinda mean, i think it's sick and twisted

the navy showed up at my dorm and claimed that i enlisted

and that's why i say

oh no! not for me, not for me

call it torture, call it university

no! arts and crafts is all i need

i'll take calligraphy and then i'll make a fake degree

don't get excited. she'll say "no" without a doubt you see

and i've decided college girls just won't go out with me

they make me nervous and they always catch me off my guard

like cell phone services i drop out cause college is too hard

it's time to call my father

cause it's his alma mater

good grades aren't what they seem

i think he knows the dean

it's time to call my father

cause it's his alma mater

he says he's proud of me

but college always was his dream

and i would always say it's not for me

oh no! not for me, not for me

call it torture, call it university

no! arts and crafts is all i need

i'll take calligraphy and then i'll make a fake degree

do what will make you happy

do what you feel is right

only but one thing matters

learn how to live your life
