Lyrics
[Verse 1]
After years of expensive education
A car full of books and anticipation
I'm an expert on Shakespeare and that's a hell of a lot
But the world don't need scholars as much as I thought
[Verse 2]
Maybe I'll go traveling for a year
Finding myself or start a career
I could work with the poor though I'm hungry for fame
We all seem so different but we're just the same
[Verse 3]
Maybe I'll go to the gym so I don't get fat
Aren't things more easy with a tight six pack?
Who knows the answers, who do you trust?
I can even separate love from lust
[Verse 4]
Maybe, I'll move back home and pay off my loans
Working 9 to 5 answering phones
But don't make me live for my Friday nights
Drinking eight pints and getting in fights
[Verse 5]
I don't want to get up, just let me lie in
Leave me alone, I'm a twentysomething
[Verse 6]
Maybe I'll just fall in love
That could solve it all
Philosophers say that that's enough
There surely must be more
[Verse 7]
Love ain't the answer nor is work
The truth eludes me so much it hurts
But I'm still having fun and I guess that's the key
I'm a twentysomething and I'll keep being me
[Verse 8]
I'm a twentysomething
Let me lie in
Leave me alone
I'm a twentysomething
