Let's begin it's time to plan for the worst
Work and work and be sure to vote what's sourced
~
Make sure to go to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, or something else worth your left lung and an arm
Just be careful though don't flunk out because that's the McDonald's alarm
~
If you fail a thing or two know your future is completely screwed
You'll never make it out of here and you'll resort to hoping others are easily fooled
~
Your dreams will be forgotten though I guess they would be anyways
You'll never be a sports star like you thought in your middle school days
~
No, you'll settle for something much more mundane, like a lawyer
Or maybe get paid minimum wage to greet assholes at rich people's hotel foyers
~
Dreams are for the rich not those like you and me
Lower and middle-class are set only to live in misery
~
Don't bother to pray you'll make it it works 0% of the time
And if it does work expect to quickly fall out of your prime
~
Success stories often told are lies and just less true-er
Than the dreams you hold so high above let them go it's worth your future
~
Right?
