For so many years I was a boy
Content to play
But alas when I got my first job
Suddenly I had bills to pay
First there was the rent
Packed in an ancient Boston apartment it was much too high
With each passing day you ponder a thought
How will you pay, when will you start
They denied to tell you how hard it would be
Writing 600 words to each school applied
Even after you've licked the last stamps
