I want it all so I can throw it away
You heard me right, that’s what I say
I want to study and get a degree
And get a job in the big city.
Then I’ll save and live off crumbs
And grow my wealth while I take none
And at ten years I’ll say I’m through
And I’ll sell my stuff, the apartment too.
I’ll use the funds to move out west
To California, that would be best.
I’ll buy a place, just big enough for me
And a new guitar to play by the sea.
I’ll learn and grow in all new ways
That can’t be taught in school these days.
I’ll meet new chums and live for the tunes
And never go back to society’s ruins
Unless my music is a real success
Or this poetry stuff, which is just a mess
And really who knows? I might meet the one
And as for kids? Well we’ll have none
And I’ll be happy knowing I’ll have changed
And broken the curse that’s born with my name
But really I just want to lose it all
And live like I’ll die, but resist death’s call.
