Twentysomething by Jamie Cullum

After years of (1)__________________ education,
A car full of books and anticipation,
I'm an expert on Shakespeare, and that's a hell of a lot,
But the world don't (2)________ scholars as (3)________ as I thought.

Maybe I'll go traveling for a year,
Finding myself, or (4)__________ a career.
I could work with the poor, though I'm hungry for fame.
We all seem so different, but we're (5)________ the same.

Maybe I'll go to the gym, so I don't get fat.
Aren't things (6)________ easy (7)________ a tight six-pack?
Who knows the answers, who do you trust?
I can't even separate love (8)________ lust.

Maybe I'll (9)________ back home and pay off my loans,
working (10)________ to (11)________ (12)__________________ phones.
Don't (13)________ me live for my (14)____________ nights,
drinking eight (15)__________ and getting in fights.

I don't want to get up, (16)________ let me lie in
leave me alone, I'm a twentysomething

Maybe I'll just fall in love --
That could solve it all.
Philosophers say that that's enough;
There surely (17)________ be more, ooh.

Love ain't the answer, nor is work.
The truth (18)____________ me, so much it hurts.
But I'm still (19)____________ fun, and I guess that the key;
I'm a twentysomething and I'll keep bein' me.

I'm a twentysomething, let me lie in,
leave me alone, I'm a twentysomething
