I'm setting my alarm-clock
Earlier today
I've got class in the morning
Know, I can't late
If I am that Professor
He’ll say
Kid go away
Oh and by the way
You know what they say
Without a degree, you’re a nothing
So I guess when I get my degree
That means you have to listen to me
Yeah, Cause' I've got a degree

There’s so many things that we could all be
I don't know what suit fits me
Maybe I’ll get an art degree
So when I’m poor I can still see some beauty
Or maybe I’ll get one of those fancy business degrees
And I’ll learn to cut some throats and I won’t feel a thing
Because that’s business
And that's fair
And all my family
They all expects some bright and shining future
But I don’t know
If they've looked out their windows
Cause if you do, you know it’s pretty grim
You can see the trash in the street and sometimes that people
But it's okay, you can turn your head away
And laugh while you say, oh yeah, that's fair
And somehow that funny to them
But I can’t see humor anymore

Now that I’m in my house
My roommates turn to ghosts
I can see right through them
I can see everything their trying to be
No, I don't think that's funny
Nicks been up for hours
No, he's not sleeping
He’s all hopped up
On coffee and anything that comes with a warning
He says he’s got to finish this piece
Because now he’s got competition
I guess we all have competition now
How was I so blind to see?
While running into the ground
Somewhere he found a little bit of truth
I'd love to share it with you
That inspiration comes from pure desperation
And I can see it too
I don’t know about you
But I can feel it too
But I can't speak for you
No, I won't open my mouth for you
