Say to me that I'm out of line I feel like another dollar sign Spending all my time confined in your goldmine. I was told it would make me bright To be chained in the fluorescent light With a textbook bonded to my eyes. Halls of ivy Will always suck your soul Halls of ivy Will always suck your soul Weight on my back, I'm on my knees Heart attack at twenty three Would you trade your life for that degree? Halls of ivy Will always suck your soul Halls of ivy Will always suck your soul I've been told I should stay there longer I've been told there is more to conquer I've been told that I'm none the wiser I've been told I should have done it faster.
