First degree in a vacuum, I'm on college ground Took a class, big fun Modern Ethics 101 First day learned why Ethics really don't apply Prof says, 'One trait Takes us to a higher state Drug free, pure bliss Get your pencil, copy this' Life unwinds like a cheap sweater But since I gave up hope, I feel a lot better And the truth gets blurred like a wet letter But since I gave up hope, I feel a lot better Top of the class sits Ernest, he was brightest and best Till the professor lured him to the hopeless nest Now he lives for the shortcut like a citizen should Tells the class with a wink, 'Only the young die good' He says, "Ideals? Uncouth! Fatalism needs youth Eat well, floss right Keep the hungry out of sight SongtexteSave face - nip and tuck Praise yourself and pass the buck And don't forget the best advice Everybody's got a price' While the world winds down to a final prayer Nothing soothes quicker than complete despair I predict by dinner I won't even care Since I gave up hope, I feel a lot better Nazis plead in a courtroom, 'Pardon me, Boys' Profits fall in a boardroom, did they make a noise?

Sing it to 'em, Papa John Aus Songtexte Mania
