I'm not into shiny suits and fast cars,
[Start] [Intro] [Verse] I'm not into shiny suits and fast cars, I don a tattered shirt and do my flash cards, It matters little if it's a dozen or a hundred a day, I'm all about the fun, like a hunter gatherer at play [Bridge] And for that I tip my hat to Peter Gray E-he-hey, Peter Otis Gray My life went full color cuz of Peter Gray E-he-hey, Peter Otis Gray [Verse] It ain't always been this way, Before I was emancipated I was antsy about a fancy college degree But now my brain, is a monkey swinging freely off the branches of my knowledge tree [Verse] Don't mention credentials to me, If all you care about is my earning potential, honey, I think it's time to press pause, I'll send you a link to a piece penned by Woz [Verse] It says schools will wreck you with pressure and that the only measure of learning is pleasure Let me say it again as a refresher: the only real measure of learning is pleasure [Bridge] Well I don't believe in Santa Clause, But I believe this man called Woz, I no longer seek to win my teacher's applause, I learn what I learn... just because! [Verse] I used to worry I'm weird like a werewolf in the dark Now I don't care people stare when I run barefoot in the park They tried to fool me grades are the one key to prove a man's smart But how's it smart to be treated like a donkey pulling a cart? [Bridge] Brother, I'll be damned, If I ever sit through another exam -- I don't bother I am not a lamb to be led to slaughter I'm a free man [Verse] Yes you heard me, I am free man, like Morgan I'm not out there always trying to get more done, My brain's my most precious organ I refuse to mess it up with boredom [Verse] Now when you see me in my tiny rental Seated on the floor with a bowl of lentils With no possessions except what's essential You may think I've gone mental [Bridge] You may say my lifestyle is dumb, You may call me a bum But when it's all said and done, I'm a free man... if there ever was one. [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] What about you, whose ass you had to kiss today, son? [Outro] [End]
