Alumni Blues

Staring over the edge of the bed
My old lady lying next to me, i started to cry (x2)
She said «i'm gonna take this diploma,
I’m gonna slice you in the eye!»
Well i’m alright (he's alright) (x9)
'cause i got a degree!
Escaping through my window
There’s a policeman on the lawn outside my home (x2)
I opened my mouth to scream but my throat was full of foam
So i’m sittin’in this cell
My fortune dwindled to a thimble full of filth (x2)
I may spend the rest of my life in jail but at least it’s got a floor!
