Collegiate Life

How could this happen to me? Few years short of a degree Wait for the plague to finish me off Or an uncertain presidency What are we waiting for? It's only a civil war We'll pitch a fit for pitching in To an American horror They say you reap what you sow And your garden's something to behold We'll pay for kneeling on the grass It's free to be read the riot act No we don't mean to overreact Someone get me up to speed There's freedom in every seed That's been planted in this great land Just a few we didn't need? Skyscrapers built on the graves Of the ones we couldn't save All of their spirits shall live on Through this precious flag we wave They say you reap what you sow And your garden's something to behold We'll pay for kneeling on the grass It's free to be read the riot act We don't mean to overreact Oh gather dutiful citizens The battle for a title returns We wield the power to treat ourselves To a good ole' nuclear dessert The kid pressed against the glass Received the toy he rightfully deserved And this just in, we're as doomed as we ever were Surely all these things will pile up Into ego-maniacal waste. I was assured that absolutely nothing's at stake As they're sizin' 'em up for the pro cheapskate They say you reap what you sow And your garden's something to behold We'll pay for kneeling on the grass It's free to be read the riot act We don't mean to overreact Just close your eyes, and say we're on the right track
