Strum

D-DU-UDU

I owe thirty-five dollars to the library

At Humboldt State University

But I dropped out fifteen years ago

And I never paid it and I'm still not gonna.

I never got my report card

And I didn't go to class and I didn't work hard

So I didn't wanna know how bad I did

But I know I never made the dean's list.

And college is a waste of time

If you wanna be a baker or a candlestick maker

You still have to wait in line

At the bank drive through and the train tracks too

Behind people like me with no degree

'Cause I know the conductor and he knows me

You might have a nicer car, but I've traveled pretty far

And all I have is an old guitar

Forty bucks for a bag of weed

In the summer nineteen ninety three

Forty dollars is all I have

And it isn't mine, it belongs to my parents.

Oh, five hundred points for a roll of cookie dough

In the cafeteria they've got sloppy joes

And the sloppy joes cost three points

I won't eat in the spring but hey, cookie dough.

And college is a waste of time

If you wanna be a diver or a big rig driver.

You still have to go to the store

And share the road with a wide load

Who's taking up all three lanes

And you can't get around him it's a big pain

And the driver hasn't slept in three whole days

But he knows one thing and that's freeways.

He's got a Gatorade bottle where he goes pee

And you're behind him with your college degree.

Final verse:

I owe thirty-five dollars to the library

At Humboldt State University

But I dropped out fifteen years ago

And I never paid it and I'm still not gonna.
