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 no one's going to read it so I'm sure it doesn't matter
When you find that you're the former
Take pride in how you form
And when you find that you're the ladder
Don't let those people walk under you
I'm writing "sharp and adult" with my finger on the steam
On the mirror in my bathroom I'm applying shaving cream
Which would suggest that I'm the foamer but how can I be the lather
But 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're regret it later
Ah ah ah la la la la la la la (repeat)
I 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 have all scattered
When you find you're a conformer
Take pride and swallow whole
But 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
