Put down your occupation

And your education

So why play it safe?

What you mean, "just in case"?

Well of course you might fail

But that's what it takes

Can't run from the doubts

Either way you're gonna struggle

Look in the mirror and argue

Then tell yourself it ain't worth the trouble

Somebody out here counting on you

To break through somehow
