    Lyrics
    It didn’t take too long for me to realize I was broke
    I couldn’t let my life become the punchline of a joke
    I thought I’d hit the bigtime with my bachelor’s degree
    Instead I have to think of what the hell that I can be

    I tried to be in business but they didn’t like my clothes
    I tried to be a model but they didn’t like my nose
    I tried to be a teacher but they paid me fifty cents
    I nearly started stripping just to cover all the rent

    And I am much too young
    To sign myself away to
    A job that makes me play it by the rules
    So pack the car with beer
    And take me back to campus
    ‘Cause all the other choices seem so cruel

    Maybe I should go
    For the life I know
    Maybe I should go
    Back to school.

    Oh, I could be a doctor, lawyer, or an MBA
    As long as I’m a student it won’t matter much to me
    Putting off the real world for as long as I’m allowed
    And when I’m done I’ll have enough to make my parents proud

    And I am much too young
    To sign myself away to
    A job that makes me play it by the rules
    So pack the car with beer
    And take me back to campus
    ‘Cause all the other choices seem so cruel

    Maybe I should go
    For the life I know
    Maybe I should go
    Back to school.
