No Job Blues

Million dollar college fees
Money I don’t have
Money I never wanted
I wonder how they’re going to get it now

Could have taught myself all these things
For free no less
But that doesn’t afford a degree
Nothing I can put on the resume

Who here’s the most qualified?
The biggest dickhead 
Why?
Because he has the most confidence
Sucks himself off every night

Duh

I’d kill myself but that would f--k my parents
After all they co-signed, right?
I’ll put myself out there as much as I can then
For every penny I’m f--king worth
But I don’t want a goddamn penny
I don’t want a goddamn thing
This degree’s for them, it’s not for me
It’s so I can get out of their f--king house
It’s so I can leave them alone like they so wish and beg
It’s so I’ll never have to come crawling back for money 
It’s so I can eat my own food, live under my own roof
Sleep in my own clothes, die in my own bed

Until then
I’m selling every company something that’s already dead

Think they’re buying?!
