There was never a guarantee
But there was a promise at least
And someone is refusing
To hold up their end of the deal
Well it sure as fuck isn't me
I can't say I did everything right
But I fulfilled the terms of service
And whatever I was promised
I can say that this isn't it
Well this isn't it at all
In fairness the details were vague
But the numbers don't lie
And if I'm part of the first generation
To do worse than their parents
Well it isn't for lack of trying
I went to college to punch my ticket
But it sure wasn't cheap
And on the other side I found out
It costs to be austere
Well, more than it ever cost you
