I could be a business man, sign here on the dotted line
Maybe that's a perfect plan but it isn't mine
'Cause I don't have time for chasing carrots on a stick
When I think of wearing suits to work, it really makes me sick

I don't wanna go to college
I don't wanna do things that require a degree
That seems like death to me

I don't wanna be in college
I don't wanna be another puppet of demand
I hope you understand
That I don't wanna go to college

I could be the CEO of a great big company
But deep down in my heart I know that it's not for me
Because my destiny simply cannot be bought or sold
Or forced into the mold that the world shoves down my throat

I don't wanna go to college
I don't wanna do things that require a degree
That seems like death to me

I don't wanna be in college
I don't wanna be another puppet of demand
I hope you understand
That I don't wanna go to college

Oh no, I don't wanna take what they wanna give
I don't want the life they want me to live
I don't even know what I wanna do
I just know I don't wanna be like you, no

I don't wanna go to college
I don't wanna do things that require a degree
That seems like death to me, yeah

I don't wanna be in college
I don't wanna be another puppet of demand
I hope you understand
That I don't wanna go to college

No, I don't wanna go to college
No, I don't wanna go to college
