Eighteen years old, did what you're told   You've gone on with all your parents wishes   Fancy degree thought that was the key   But now you're stuck washing dishes   It's still so distant from you   The life that you wanted   Your dreams are lost behind you   Forget it start over   Five fifty plus tips putting up with shit   This can't be all that there is   Four years in the books and all your time it took   And you end up with nothing but this   It’s still so distant from you   The life that you wanted   Your dreams are lost behind you   Forget it start over   I can't believe you now   All that time wasted   You thought you had it all worked out   It seems so simple   Now that you are on your own, so devastated   You wish you had all the time back   Now that you've had a sample   You face that fear   A solemn oath that you were forced into   I can't believe you tried so hard   All that time wasted   You thought you had it all worked out   It seems so simple   Now that you are on your own, so devastated   You wish you had all the time back   Now that you've had a sample
