Letting the world pay you
Chapter 26
And maybe you think you know better,
2But it doesn’t matter how well you do,
3On the atests they choose to give,
4bBecause you’re already checking the list,
5And doing what there is to do.
6You’ll graduate from where you are,
7And go and get a degree,
8cThen maybe you’ll get another degree,
9dTill your education is done,
10And all that remains is sitting back,
11And letting the world pay you,
12For taking the time to go to class,
13And all the rest of that stuff,
14Because you’ll need bread to pay for a spouse,
15eAnd some cars and some ftoys and a house,
16gNot to mention some kids of your own,
17hBecause it’s all on the list,
18And the list is your life,
19If you know what’s good for you.
