Lyrics

I graduated in 1993
I never demonstrated much of my ability
I was a good boy but I was much too smart for my own good
Teachers said I was gifted and quite talented
Do you have an extra quarter?
Got to get to class tomorrow
All is fair in asbury
Make my way into berkeley
When I was seven, I stared in to the monitor
And found my best friend
Mr. commodore 64
Daddy bought me an international business machine
And with it I compromised national security
Do you have an extra quarter?
Got to get to class tomorrow
All is fair in asbury
Make my way into berkeley
What the hell ya savin' for?
I'm gonna start the third world war
Hanging with the punks in the gutters I have found
Most of them are gifted and talented as well
Oh brotha could you spare a dime?
(If a quarter you do not have)
Been running from the marshall man
Since I broke into norad
But it's working out so well
The beggar's life is swell
