The 1% Blues - by the college confidential community
[Verse 1]
Private college costs are way too high
Housing costs too, I just barely scrape by
And if illegals get deported, you know what they say?
My lawn will just turn from grass into hay
[Chorus]
I got more than most
Living in my shoes
Yet still I have
Those 1% blues.
[Verse 2]
Nice homes, great schools, counselors with clout,
All the advantages my kids can’t do without,
I make a nice salary and try my best
To cover these bills, but that darn Sam takes the rest.
[Chorus]
I got more than most
Living in my shoes
Yet still I have
Those 1% blues.
[Verse 3]
Stock market went down before I could bail
I thought biotech would put kid through Yale
Now plans have to change and kid has to wait
Or heaven forbid attend Ohio State
[Chorus]
I got more than most
Living in my shoes
Yet still I have
Those 1% blues.
[Verse 4]
When I hit 1% thought I was done
But that won’t pay sticker price at Bennington
Nasdaq ain’t giving me no capital gain
Kid will need merit money from Tulane
[Chorus]
I got more than most
Living in my shoes
Yet still I have
Those 1% blues.
