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

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

and that´s 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
i´ll take calligraphy and then i´ll 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 it´s sick and twisted
the navy showed up at my dorm and claimed that i enlisted

and that´s 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
i´ll take calligraphy and then i´ll make a fake degree

don´t get excited. she´ll say "no" without a doubt you see
and i´ve decided college girls just won´t 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

it´s time to call my father
cause it´s his alma mater
good grades aren´t what they seem
i think he knows the dean
it´s time to call my father
cause it´s his alma mater
he says he´s proud of me
but college always was his dream
and i would always say it´s 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
i´ll take calligraphy and then i´ll make a fake degree

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