Liberal Arts

So you found the lock but not the key
 That college brings, and all the trouble
 Of a B.A. in English Literature
 Instead of law, or something more practical
 You've traded all your time for money and the blues.
 And no trust fund or daddy doctors, what do you have to prove
 So you found your joy on Saturdays, friends and family
 fingering you girlfriend.
 Your father's pride was beaming
 when you bought your first home in garden city.
 You bring the tea, I'll bring the fashion,
 our attitude.
 Long silver walks, upstate, you miss the thing.
 Do you?
 So you found the lock but not the key
 that college brings, and all the trouble
 The carnage brings, and all the trouble
 ... much let to... instead of loss
 Or something more practically
 You're dreaming on it's time for money and the blues
 And no trust fund or dirty doctors, what do you have to prove
