[Verse 1]
EmWe'll correct collBmegiate misCtakes
A Emshower of formal BmidealsC

[Verse 2]
EmI attempt to Bmtalk up the Ctown
"The Emanswers are in the BmarcheCs Emof the 20th Bmcentury Ctowers
And in Emcomfortable cars in BmmotionC"
CAnd yet it still remains, this incessent refEmrain:
"You're Bmjust like the Crest, your Emrestlessness makes you BmlazyC"
[Verse 3]
EmKeeping busy is Bmjust wasting Ctime
And I've Emwasted what little he Bmgave meC

AmI know the Cconscious choice was Gma7crystal clear
To Dclean the slate of Fma7former years
When Am7I sang softly Cin your ear
And Gma7tied these armDs around Fma7you
