I have a future

Are you idiotic?

Are you crazy?

Are you out of your mind?

I thought so
Mr. I have a life
Yeah,
You sitting over there
With your hat and reading glasses
Watching education television
While the rest of us sit here with
A life
And dreams
We’re everything
But you have to be
(special), according to you
You have a goal an
Opinion, you work for things
But, we sit here
Cheating on our finals
We don’t remember
The last time we didn’t (?)
Wear the same thing
Why, we could never leave
(us).
While you sit there in your little corner
Dreaming away your
(miserable life).
I want to see where you’ll be
In twenty years.
Broadway, television?
Fat chance, no KFC for you.
We’ll tell you where
We’ll be, at home
Eating chips, getting drunk (?)
Watching Real World re-runs
Pathetic? No.
Its what we’ve always wanted to be.
Frat boys and girls,
College drop outs,
Basically
A bum.
Yeah you
Mr. (smarty pants)
Always doing things on your own,
With that (supermodel) wife of yours,
Who wants that?
Who wants a future?
You do
Obviously.
I’ll tell you
One thing (science nerd)
We don’t.
We want to fail, only thing we want
Is your homework,
To go to football games,
Get laid.
(It’s the important things that matter)
Once we’re out of high school.
But you sit at home
With a book
Only, for what?
College!
Who goes to college?
We don’t
That’s not our style.
Maybe to go to parties,
Get laid by hot college seniors,
Fail our exams,
At least (look)
Like we’re getting an education (?)
The couch is ours
That’s where we learn to
Dance, to
Drink, to be
Anything, but
(myself) ?
So think about that
Next time you pick up your
Science magazine
Think where we’ll be,
Be like us,
Having fun
Cause we do it the right way
The only way.
The we have a future way
We actually have friends,
Ourselves,
We’ll always have this
Great circle, we’re not fake.
The real thing, why
We would never do things
Because everyone else does
We’re (unique) ?
We’re (everybody)
Follow the crowd.
But, if you want to outcast yourself,
Only to be successful, go
Right ahead,
See if we care.
That’s one less head,
That we’re going
To have to worry about.
So have a nice life,
(I) have a future.
