I went to high school
It was totally cool
I had friends and parents who seemed to care about me
I go to work now
It's not nearly as cool
People look at me like I'm stupid and talk to me like I'm a fool
And I sit and I wait for a pat on the head
One hasn't come yet and I'm no longer interested
In giving my all
Giving it all to you
I'm giving my all for what, for who
Giving my all, I'll give it to you
Giving my all for what, for who
I just wanted a little appreciation
A gold star or a pat on the head for such good marks
But instead I find myself deeper in debt
And filled with regret, living to be dead
