I should have never got this far   I'm nothing but a bad example   I'm thinking of the college life away from these distractions      Then I could get a real job   And maybe then I'd please my parents   I'm sitting on a diamond mine unmapped and unexcavated      This is a bad sign   I'm believing my own lie   All the money is gone and now there's noone left to bail me out      I should have never got this far   I'm nothing but a bad example   I'm thinking of the college life away from these distractions      But I don't want to sound defeatist   In truth I've never felt so good about this   Only it's a family flaw to be overtly pessimistic      This is a bad sign   I'm believing my own lie   All the money is gone and now there's noone left to bail me out      So take it from me   That these things will work themselves out in the end   Can't just say that you do it to yourself      This is a bad sign   I'm believing my own lie   All the money is gone and now there's noone left to bail me out
