It ain't enough that I'm a student My car needs to be enrolled Couldn't take the bus just this once But now I got to pay the toll $23,000 is just not enough So I guess the ticket's justified First offense gets a discount, though So I'm not bled completely dry Textbooks in mass quantities For classes that are required Hundreds shall buy this GUR guide But at prices not desired $600 for a single book Just seems like an outrageous price But I can sell it back for thirty bucks So I'm not bled completely dry I don't have the cash, But I gotta take this class So I can graduate That's why there's student loans Don't have to pay alone And their payments can wait $80,000 ain't asking much They just want to educate you right You'll go on to be a huge success So be glad they didn't bleed you dry

Magnum Opus 05:41
All good things must come to an end And my, what a journey it's been Studying, partying, jamming and rocking The best four years I've ever lived The final touch for the final year The greatest project by Man Bigger than Babylon, precise as the Pyramids Forever it shall stand This is my Magnum Opus "Feast upon this work of art That stole my blood and tears And used them in extravagance To craft what you see here: "Songs that make love to your ears With lyrics truthful and wise Melodies of the highest quality That only gods could devise" This is my Magnum Opus "Spectators, roar with applause! But only if you so desire Don't want to force or impose Just know this project is my child" I made the grade and now it's time To leave this college town Degree in hand, pens at the ready I'll be the best writer around This is my Magnum Opus

Give Up 03:24
Everybody wants to change the world You better step aside Very few people get the chance Don't ask why You got a message to say? Don't waste your time You shout out for all to hear But they don't listen Message that could change the world It's the audience you're missing Got one goal in life And they failed your mission I've got a song I sing But not out loud Want to get discovered Leave it up to the crowd But nobody in this world Is gonna want to hear this sound
