Big Black Cloud University
The problem with cheap whisky and also poets
Is they both run out on you before you know it
Got your PhD in easy wishful drinking
Got a master's degree in selective thinking
But it still made sense to move to San Francisco
Until Rent Control fell screaming out the window
But there's still that coffee shop in your hometown
And your old boring friends ain't dead
Hey Gifted Kid
If this is a test
You probably failed
Hey Gifted Kid
If this is a test
You probably failed
Now all your best intentions are now charging at you with a knife
All your awkward moments want to hunt you down and take your life
Run kid
Run kid
Run kid
Run kid
All your best intentions are now charging at you with a knife
All your awkward moments want to hunt you down and take your life
Run kid
Run kid
Run kid
Run kid
Uh huh
There's this rumor that Idaho has gotten cooler
And the heathens in Boise need a brand-new ruler
You may have been exiled from your shining city
But your scars have depth and they're bomb-drop pretty
Half of San Francisco got there right before you
And the rents gone up, your scars can't pay it for you
But there's still that coffee shop in your hometown
And your old boring friends ain't dead
Hey Gifted Kid
If this is a test
You probably failed
Hey Gifted Kid
If this is a test
You probably failed
Now all your best intentions are now charging at you with a knife
All your awkward moments want to hunt you down and take your life
Try to smoke some weed but only student loans are getting high
Can't you read the sign that tells you not to feed the wildlife
Run kid
Run kid
Run kid
Run kid
Run kid!
Run kid!
Run kid!
Run kid!
