Relient K - College Kids [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Someone, please save us, us college kids!
What my parents told me is what I did
They said, "Go to school and be a college kid."
But, in the end, I questioned why I did

[Verse 1]
I'm poor. I'm starving. I'm flat broke. I've got no cash to spend
Sell all my books for front row tickets to Dave Matthews Band
My girlfriend's at another school. I know this year will test her
I called, found out she had three other boyfriends last semester

And that's why I say:

[Chorus]
Oh no! Not for me, not for me
Call it torture, call it university
No! Arts and Crafts is all I need
I'll take calligraphy and then I'll make a fake degree

[Verse 2]
Eighty grand later, I found out that all that I had learned
Was that you should show up to take your finals and your mid-terms
The party scene is kind of mean. I think it's sick and twisted
The Navy showed up at my door and claimed that I enlisted

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Don't get excited. She'll say "no" without a doubt, you see
I've decided college girls just won't go out with me
They make me nervous and they always catch me off my guard
Like cell phone service, I drop out cuz college is too hard

It's time to call my father
Cuz it's his alma mater
Good grades aren't what they seem
I think he knows the dean
It's time to call my father
Cuz it's his alma mater
But college always was his dream
And I would always say, "It's not for me."

[Chorus]

Someone, please save us, us college kids!
What my parents told me is what I did
They said, "Go to school and be a college kid."
But, in the end, I questioned why I did

Do what will make you happy
Do what you feel is right
Only but one thing matters:
Learn how to live your life
Do what will make God happy
Do what you feel is right
Only but one thing matters:
Learn how to live your life
