Even when I was just lost in school I thought these books were just a useless tool I found no meaning listening to this fools All this works just gonna make me dull That's why I Wasted my time Listening to Amy At least she's right Even when I was youngster I knew Went back and forth like other youngsters do Didn't know that I had to choose What I want at such a young age too That's why I Wasted my time Listening to Henry At least he's right My counselor told me I should just quit school I told her I should probably not trust you I went this long I'll probably see this through Plus there's some girls I'm teaching romance to That's why I Wasted my time Listening to Marvin At least he's right And oh there were days when their words were all I ate And when I wake up at six all I'd say is I don't want to do it I'll just make my music Keep your pretty books I'll keep my pretty words When you get your job I hope you love it 'Cause someone's gotta wake up at 6
