Where'd you get your books
And did they teach you anything
Maybe you could show to me?
Because it feels like it's been years
Since I've been useful, never earned my pedigree
And I don't think I can fake it
I can admit you ought to stay in college
At least you'll know something
I'm a dead friend, let me rot in my coffin now
The only difference, I'd probably prefer it
Now I'll die old and faceless
Hiding deep in some depressing little hovel
In the background of the show you're watching
If you see me just ignore it
'Cause there's nothing I could offer anyway
And it occurred that maybe my worth is much less than we thought
I let it set in, I'll be forgotten
I can't obscure the fact that I've learned hardly anything at all
An application, another language
And I can't work nine to five's if I'm sleeping past noon
Try to catch morning light with alarms left unused
How bad could it hurt
To sell my blood till I'm withered and bruised?
Now I'll die old and faceless
Hiding deep in some depressing little hovel
In the background of the show you're watching
If you see me just ignore it
'Cause there's nothing I could offer anyway
Now I'll die old and faceless
Hiding deep in some depressing little hovel
In the background of the show you're watching
If you see me just ignore it
'Cause there's nothing I could offer anyway
