Testo di 'College Kids' di Relient K

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 questioned 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

Eighty grand later, I found out that all that I had learned
Is that you should show up to take your finals and your mid-terms
The party scene is kind of mean, I think it's sick and twisted
The Navy showed up at my door 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'll 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 service, 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

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 questioned why I did

Do what will make you happy (someone, please, save us)
Do what you feel is right (us, college kids)
Only but one thing matters (what my parents told me)
Learn how to live your life (is what I did)

Do what will make God happy (they said: Go to school and)
Do what you feel is right (be a college kid)
Only but one thing matters (but, in the end)
Learn how to live your life
