Back at school it was simple enough
Keep up and keep head down
Don't have any questions when the time is tough,
Nobody look around
So you can tie your shoelace at the age of sixteen,
You can say hello in Rome
And if you keep your head down for another five years,
We'll get you out a student loan
All those people out there doing beautiful things,
I'm gonna get myself a degree
And oh;
If you want to waste 5 years, baby you can do it with me
So now you're gonna be stuck in another block all day,
Something sounds familiar
Alpha steppin', learn how to get paid,
Come on children get it up
Left right left - converse stepping in time,
Different people made to be the same
But keep up and keep head down - don't worry this time;
You're training for the office game
Stupid people doing beautiful things,
Yeah I'm gonna get myself a degree
And oh;
If you want to waste 5 years, baby you can do it with me
Graduation, promotions for all;
If you sign you get a camera
Bribing, whining for the college call,
Less kids are taken in by liars
All those stupid people doing beautiful things,
Yeah I'm gonna get myself a degree
And oh;
If you want to waste 5 years, baby you can do it with me.
