After years of expensive education A car full of books, and anticipation I'm an expert on Shakespeare, and that's a hell of a lot But the world don't need scholars as much as I thought Maybe I'll go traveling for a year Finding myself, or start a career I could work with the poor, though I'm hungry for fame We all seem so different, but we're just the same Maybe I'll go to the gym, so I don't get fat All things are easy, with a tight six-pack Who knows the answer, who do you trust I can't even separate love from lust Maybe I'll move back home, and pay off my loans Working nine to five, answering phones Don't make me live for my Friday nights Drinking eight pints and getting in fights I don't want to get up, just let me lie in Leave me alone, I'm a twenty something Maybe I'll just fall in love, that could solve it all Philosophers say that that's enough There surely must be more, ooh Love ain't the answer, nor is work The truth deludes me, so much it hurts But I'm still having fun and I guess that the key I'm a twenty something and I'll keep bein' me I'm a twenty something, let me lie in, Leave me alone, I'm a twenty something
