lyrics

Just got a job!
Look sharp, I’m wide awake
Now all my bills get paid
I’m working hard
When someone dares to ask
Yes, someone dares to ask

Don’t quit your job
I do this every day
I take minimum pay
I’m working hard
When someone dares to ask
Yes, someone dares to ask

What did you learn in school?
Well, I can’t answer
What did you learn in school?
Well, I can’t answer why I’m here

When I was young
I thought the things I loved would pay
Thought I had talent and it would pay
I failed to see
How many others feel exactly the same way

What did you learn…

This is not my home

When I was young I thought each day
We’d grow more beautiful
Until this looked like a movie
I failed to see
Everyone older only looked older
That’s not how I want to be
It may be shallow, but I want beauty
Yet we grow softer, rounder

What now?
