Another drop in that bucket,


Another drop in that bucket,

much appreciated.

A straw from the back.

thank you, sir/madam

Knowledge makes misers of us all.

at least in America


But that's not the point.

You'll still make it...

Past all of the debt.
... maybe.

Become who you NEED to be. 
'cuz you've got 60 years left to do it.

Push those words out.
but- ...don't know-

 

Seize your chance.
...still- ...need me..

Don't just have the spirit, have the worth ethic.
Every-... will-

Dreams disappear when you wake up.
...not worth-...

So make 'em real
...
