Twentysomething by Jamie Cullum
After years of expensive 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 need scholars as much as I thought.
Maybe I'll go traveling for a year,
Finding myself, or start a career.
I could work with the poor, though I'm hungry for fame.
We all seem so different, but we're (1)________ the same.
Maybe I'll go to the gym, so I don't get fat.
Aren't things more easy (2)________ a tight six-pack?
Who knows the answers, who do you trust?
I can't even separate (3)________ from lust.
Maybe I'll move back home and pay off my loans,
working nine to five answering phones.
Don't make me live for my Friday nights,
drinking eight pints and getting in fights.
I don't want to get up, (4)________ let me lie in
leave me alone, I'm a twentysomething
Maybe I'll just (5)________ in (6)________ --
That (7)__________ solve it all.
Philosophers say that that's enough;
There surely must be more, ooh.
Love ain't the answer, nor is work.
The truth (8)____________ me, so much it hurts.
But I'm still having fun, and I guess (9)________ 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
