I Can't Wait

I can’t wait till class is over And my homework is all done. I can’t wait until my eyes are No more bothered by the sun. I can’t wait ‘till it’s the weekend Oh I’ll push things to the brink, And if I remember what I’ve done, Well that’s a waste I think. I can’t wait until I graduate So I can get a job, Waste away my nine-to-fives And start livin’ like a slob. I can’t wait till I get married So that I can hate my wife And drink away my sorrows For the rest of my dull life. Oh boy! Let’s have some children (I hope that they’ll look up to me)! I’ll let them gorge on fast-food dinners While staring blankly at the screen. So then they turn to teenagers And we fight all damn day. They tell me they don’t love me, Couldn’t care less what I say. I can’t wait till I get older – Then I’ll have my fun! I’ll eat and sleep and shit myself Like life’s a game I’ve won. And when I’m on my deathbed I’ll smile (if I can), I won’t regret a single thing: A proud American.
