Lyric Autobiography

I m writing "young and gifted",
In my autobiography,
I figured, who would know,
Better than me?
I m certainly the former,
But I m *not* so much the latter,
But noone s gonna read it,
So I m sure it doesn t matter.
When you find that you re the former,
Take pride in how you form.
When you find that you re the ladder,
Don t let those people walk under you-ooh.
I m writing "sharp and adult",
With my finger on the steam,
On the mirror in my bathroom,
And I m applying shaving cream.
Which would suggest that I m the foamer
But how *can* I be the lather,
And something tells me,
It s the opposite I d rather.
When you find that you re the foamer,
Be careful what you foam.
When you find that you re the lather,
Don t shave too high,
You ll regret it later,
La...La La La...La La La La
La...La La La...La La La La
I ve stayed in school this long
But still no one will tell me why,
They figured who would know,
Better than I?
I know I m a conformer,
But I m *sure* it doesn t matter,
My new friends are all adults,
And my old friends all have scattered.
When you find you re a conformer,
Take pride and swallow whole.
If you re trying to climb the ladder,
Don t let people walk over you.
Because that s just what they ll do.
Don t let people walk over you.
Because that s just what they ll do.
