Song lyrics College kids by Relient K

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 question why i did

iīm poor, iīm starving, iīm flat broke, iīve got no cash to spend
sell all my books for front row tickets to dave matthews band
my girlfriendīs at another school, i know this year will test her
i called, found out she had three other boyfriends last semester

and thatīs 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
iīll take calligraphy and then iīll make a fake degree

80 grand later i found out that all that i had learned
is that you should show up to take your finals and your midterms
the party scene is kinda mean, i think itīs sick and twisted
the navy showed up at my dorm and claimed that i enlisted

and thatīs 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
iīll take calligraphy and then iīll make a fake degree

donīt get excited. sheīll say "no" without a doubt you see
and iīve decided college girls just wonīt go out with me
they make me nervous and they always catch me off my guard
like cell phone services i drop out cause college is too hard

itīs time to call my father
cause itīs his alma mater
good grades arenīt what they seem
i think he knows the dean
itīs time to call my father
cause itīs his alma mater
he says heīs proud of me
but college always was his dream
and i would always say itīs not for me

oh no! not for me, not for me
call it torture, call it university
no! arts and crafts is all i need
iīll take calligraphy and then iīll make a fake degree

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 question why i did

do what will make you happy
do what you feel is right
only but one thing matters
learn how to live your life

do what will make God happy
do what you feel is right

learn how to live your life
