Sorry Ma, the World's a Little Harder Than I Thought
He had enough dreams to fill the universe, and still have some left over
He was impressed by nothing less than perfection, so he was then over-
Eager to embark on his new life,
Just turned 18, said goodbye to his parents and then decided to do right
And BE himself, 'cause though many people cared for him
He NEEDS himself
And he wants to be free
So then he walked out of the door to find work out of the streets
But when he opened up his wallet, and simply saw a black hole
He decided nothing is free, and started to walk back home
When he made it back home, he apologized to mom, told her;
"Sorry ma, the world's a little harder than I thought."
