Stay In School Kids

I'm broke
Because I haven't broke yet
I got a hundred-plus songs
And still don't have a hit
I shoulda got my doctorate
So stay in school, kids

Go to class
Graduate
And spend your twenties at a fancy new job
And I was like
Yeah right
Sounds lame
I think I'll move away and be a rockstar
Thought I could
Live off
Of love songs
And throw my wishes in a wishing well
Yeah it was
A long shot but a nice thought
And now I'm thinking that I got it all wrong

Ooh
Not all fun and roses
Ooh
Hate it 'cause I love it
Ooh
It's the grind that never ends
Man

I'm broke
Because I haven't broke yet
I got a hundred-plus songs
And still don't have a hit
I shoulda got my doctorate
So stay in school if you want

Want a mansion in the hills
With a 401k and healthcare benefits
Well then you better marry rich
Or stay in school, kids

Got found and I got signed
Thought the ladder only led to the top
But it's been
Three years
And no dice
Left my record deal before I got dropped
Now I'm back

At square one
A rebrand
And got a part-time job to get by
Now I'm like
Oh well
That's life
I guess I'll go and play the hand that I got

Ooh
Not all fun and roses
Ooh
Hate it 'cause I love it
Ooh
It's the grind that never ends
Yup

I'm broke
Because I haven't broke yet
I got a hundred-plus songs
And still don't have a hit
I shoulda got my doctorate
So stay in school if you want (you want)

Want a mansion in the hills
With a 401k and healthcare benefits
Well then you better marry rich
Or stay in school, kids

(Oh, oh)
Stay in school, kids
(Oh, oh)
Yeah you better stay in school
(Oh, oh)
Ooh, stay in school, kids
(Oh, oh)

I'm broke
'Cause I haven't broke yet
I got a hundred-plus songs
And still don't have a hit
Shoulda got my doctorate
So stay in school, kids
