Someone please save us, us college kids
What my parents told me is what I did
They said go to school and be a college kid
But in the end I questioned why I didI'm poor, I'm starving, I'm flat broke, I've got no cash to spend
Sell all my books for front row tickets to Dave Matthews Band
My girlfriends at another school I know this year will test her
I called, found out she had three other boyfriends last semesterAnd thats why I say
"Oh no, not for me, not for me
Call it torture, call it university
No, arts and crafts is all I need
I'll take calligraphy
And then I'll make a fake degree"Eighty grand later I found out that all I had learned
Is that you should show up to take your finals and your midterms
The party scene is kinda mean, I think it's sick and twisted
The navy showed up at my dorm and claimed that I enlistedAnd thats why I say
"Oh no, not for me, not for me
Call it torture, call it university
No, arts and crafts is all I need
I'll take calligraphy
And then I'll make a fake degree"Don't get excited, she'll say no without a doubt you see
And I've decided college girls just wont go out with me
They make me nervous and they always catch me off my guard
Like cell phone service I drop out 'cause college is too hardIts time to call my father
'Cause it's his alma mater
Good grades aren't what they seem
I think he knows the deanIt's time to call my father
'Cause it's his alma mater
He said he's proud of me
But college always was his dream
And I would always say its not for meOh no, not for me, not for me
Call it torture, call it university
No, arts and crafts is all I need
I'll take calligraphy
And then I'll make a fake degreeSomeone please save us, us college kids
