It's not GUARANTEED


They tell u

it's great

it's happy

all joy 

Creativity

And at 

The end

There's hope

But no

There's not

It's not 

GUARANTEED

It's not 

GUARANTEED

That you

Receive a 

Great job 

It's not 

GUARANTEED 

That your

Life would

Be easier

It's not

GUARANTEED 

That by

A certain

Age wealth

Would be

Your second

Language 

It's not

GUARANTEED

It's not 

GUARANTEED

At all

College doesn't

Bring the 

Best jobs

It brings

The jobs 

Hand picked

By people

Who don't even

KNOW YOU

What your good at

Your talents

Your aspiration

THEY KNOW

The GENERAL

understanding

THEY KNOW

The 9-5

THE KNOW

The cubicles

They know

The pay raise

THEY DON'T 

KNOW YOU

They 

DON'T KNOW

They brilliant 

Creative

Anbitious

INDIVIDUAL

You are

They 

DON'T KNOW

The great

Ideas that

Lay outside

The bounds

Of a

9-5 job

what if

They had

A chance

To see how

Amazing

You

(INDIVIDUAL)

are the

Things you

Could produce

Without the

 "Guilding" hands

Of them

I bet

You don't

KNOW either

Theres no way

To know

With them shutting

You (INDIVIDUAL) 

down

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

It's not GUARANTEED
