Intro:
Verse:
I owe thirty-five dollars to the library
At Humboldt State University
But I dropped out fifteen years ago
And I never paid it and I m still not gonna.
I never got my report card
And I didn t go to class and I didn t work hard
So I didn t wanna know how bad I did
But I know I never made the dean s list.
Chorus:
And college is a waste of time
If you wanna be a baker or a candlestick maker
You still have to wait in line
At the bank drive through and the train tracks too
Behind people like me with no degree
Cause I know the conductor and he knows me
You might have a nicer car, but I ve traveled pretty far
And all I have is an old guitar
Bridge:
/
Verse:
Forty bucks for a bag of weed
In the summer nineteen ninety three
Forty dollars is all I have
And it isn t mine, it belongs to my parents.
Oh, five hundred points for a roll of cookie dough
In the cafeteria they ve got sloppy joes
And the sloppy joes cost three points
I won t eat in the spring but hey, cookie dough.
Chorus:
And college is a waste of time
If you wanna be a diver or a big rig driver.
You still have to go to the store
And share the road with a wide load
Who s taking up all three lanes
And you can t get around him it s a big pain
And the driver hasn t slept in three whole days
But he knows one thing and that s freeways.
He s got a Gatorade bottle where he goes pee
And you re behind him with your college degree.
Final verse:
I owe thirty-five dollars to the library
At Humboldt State University
But I dropped out fifteen years ago
And I never paid it and I m still not gonna.
