I did what you said
I did what you taught
I practiced and practiced
I studied a lot
I did all those things
You said would pay off
To get a career
So I wouldn’t be lost
You know what? It’s funny
All of us writers are linked
Try to fit this world mold, still unhappy
I mean come on, what’d you think?
You tell us that dreaming is stupid
Get a job, blink your eyes and wake up
Keep punching that card every morning
The weekend will hand you a cup
Sure, I did college at Vandy
It taught me a hell of a lot
A degree in Econ/Corporate Strategy
But the lesson in life’s what I bought
The people I met all around me
The times and the fun that we had
That’s the career that surrounds me
The job to make people feel glad
To give people love that they can’t get
From working a 9 until 5
After all if it wasn’t for these things
What’s the point in being alive?
