The Lives of the Educated

You're broke and nobody knows
If you will stay or if you will go
This dress is soaking wet
Smells of fish and of desperation

These shoes they'll never do
This handbag's used
It's worn to pieces
This road is covered in red
Broken like bread
Now it's laced with pavement

Don't be late for the important
Signs are here so watch out for them
Feel the sound our final chorus
I'll remember you
If you'll remember me

These cars are all for show
Metal toes but the rest is nameless
I pinch the top of my lips
As well as the slips from the fashion section

We thought the art we taught
We change the lives of the educated
We stood to yell the truth
Holding our hands
Protected by youth

Don't be late for the important
Signs are here so watch out for them
Hear the sound our final chorus
I'll remember you
If you'll remember me
