You'll get accepted into yale
But they'll excuse you when you fail
You'll get a scholarship to brown
But that color brings you down
You'll go to colgate for a year
In the fresh air up there
You'll grow a habit hard to please
From a semester overseas

You're really not quite well
You know that
And everyone can tell
You know the reasons to stay indoors
You don't need anymore
you remind me of the man
I once was
And some say
I still am

You'll land a job right out of school
While your friends do something cool
You'll get politically involved
But your actions lack resolve
You'll play the loner for awhile
Dressed in black and creepy vibes
You'll stay inside for weeks on end
With imaginary friends

You're really not quite well
You know that
And everyone can tell
You know the reasons to stay indoors
You don't need anymore
You remind me of the man
I once was
And some say
I still am
