about

A song about dropping out of university

lyrics

I did something real bold today, quit my university.
What the hell will my parents say I don’t know.
Employment prospects looking bleak, a new career path i must seek.
But that can wait until next week cos its a lovely day.
Oh my confidence is up and down, sometimes I smile and then i frown.
Im still wearing my dressing gown and its hours past midday.
Im feeling sad and i need some hugs, cos on Saturday night I took some drugs.
But thats not why i quit my course but it probably didn’t help. Cos

Im free, im free theres less hard work for me.
My unis done lets have some fun lets party.
I’m free, I’v freed my creativity.

We’ll write some songs, we’ll do no wrong, we’ll dance the night away.
I’m free, Im free and freedom isn’t lost on me.
My inner child is hyper and my rock stars off his tree.
I’m free, I’m free. From that hard work and strife.
Ill set my sights on brighter days and really live my life.

Our time is precious, make it count, play safe and know that no amount.
Of money makes you satisfied, your loved ones hold the key.
Work hard so we can make the bills, overlook our social ills
Work and strain for little gain, the cost of living rises.
Some people loose themselves for years, dissatisfied by their careers.
Free spirits confined, by a schedule with too little time.
Find a new way out again, search for peace and find your zen.
Spent time with family and friends, and revel in the glory of being.

Im free, im free theres less hard work for me.
My unis done lets have some fun lets party.
I’m free, I’v freed my creativity.
We’ll write some songs, we’ll do no wrong, we’ll dance the night away.
I’m free, Im free and freedom isn’t lost on me.
My inner child is hyper and my rock stars off his tree.
I’m free, I’m free. From that hard work and strife.
Ill set my sights on brighter days and really live.

When I rest my weary head, I’ll close my eyes and sleep instead
Of worrying about what work to do tomorrow.
Part of me needs to progress, most of me don’t need to stress
Life is for enjoyment not for squandering away
After all I think ill find some better way to spend my time
Away from Uni libraries and computer screens so bright.
The service that you must enlist is ukulele therapist
If you wanna lead the good life, and revel in the glory of being.

Im free, im free theres less hard work for me.
My unis done lets have some fun lets party.
I’m free, I’v freed my creativity.
We’ll write some songs, we’ll do no wrong, we’ll dance the night away.
I’m free, Im free and freedom isn’t lost on me.
My inner child is hyper and my rock stars off his tree.
I’m free, I’m free. From that hard work and strife.
Ill set my sights on brighter days and really live my life.
