We spend the best years of our lives Preparing for years we have no interest in yet Wasting what time we have in boxed rooms Learning information we have little interest for Information that is hammered into us Until our heads splinter open And all we thought we knew comes trickling out Onto the floor Wasted No advice on the present is given Only on numbers and history In return we receive a life time supply of stress and worry But we will be prepared for the future they say We don't know what we are doing now So what are the chances we know what we'll be doing ten years from now?
