Tired
Do well in elementary
To get good high school classes
To get the good teachers
To get a good GPA
To get into a good college
With a good major
To get a good job
To get a good career
Do clubs and activities
To get a good resume
So when you apply for college
You stand out among the rest
And once you're in college
Do research, make friends
To get good recommendations
So when you apply for a job
You stand out among the rest
Work smarter, work harder
To get a promotion
To get a good house
A family, a job
Keep working, keep going
And don't stop for anything
I'm sorry you're tired
But you can sleep when you're dead
