Verse:

Well my feet are tired
And my back is sore
And my body’s aching
And my hands are raw
And my eyes are drowsy
And my mouth is dry
And I feel so alive
That I could almost die
‘Cos my pockets are draughty
From the rent so steep
And my arms are shaking
From the lack of sleep
And my mind is melting
As my blisters burst
But my grin is endless
‘Cos it could be worse

Chorus:

So I drop to my knees
And give thanks to the Lord
For the rising tuition
I can barely afford
I’m so happy to live
In the land of the free
Free to pay higher tuition
So I can succeed

Verse:

I got a class in the morning
I gotta study at noon
I gotta work in the evening
And an essay due soon
I got a test on the morrow
And a quiz in an hour
And a bill overdue
For the phone and the power

Verse:

I got a girl who’s upset
Yeah, she thinks I’m a jerk
‘Cos I cancelled our plans
To get called into work
And my heart is breaking
As I face my curse
But my grin is endless
‘Cos it could be worse

Chorus:

So I drop to my knees
And give thanks to the Lord
For the rising tuition
I can barely afford
I’m so happy to live
In the land of the free
Free to pay higher tuition
So I can succeed

Verse:

So I ride my bike
Ride right up to my door
I will climb up the stairs
And look for work tomorrow
‘Cos the clock in the kitchen
Reads a quarter to three
Now tomorrow is today
In the land of the free
So I climb in my bed
And try to forget
That come Summer I’ll work three jobs
Just to pay down my debt
But they gotta go slave
I’ll remember that first
And my grin will be endless
‘Cos it could be worse

Chorus:

And I drop to my knees
And give thanks to the Lord
For the rising tuition
I can barely afford
‘Cos so I’m glad that I get
Some hair on my chest
And I get to build character
Passing this test
Oh I’m so happy to live
In the land of the free
Free to pay higher tuition
So I can succeed
