You already know.

lyrics

My senior quote in college was "I hear it's nice, this time of year in New York"
I wear glasses, but I don't need glasses
I need money but I'm not broke, I call it bohemian
The change I do have goes to coffee, and cigarettes and my stand up...comedian, aspirations

Chorus
So I suck, but no one tells me that I suck
They're all fed up
With my continuous soliloquy, no I don't know that you hate me
I strive to talk like Sylvia Plath, I raise my hand in every class
So you can hear my thoughts on this
I don't know I'm pretentious

My favorite book is the Great Gatsby
I think that says a lot about me
I read it on my own, before eleventh grade
It changed my life, I will never be the same

I bet you say the film did you even read the book?
All that glitter had you hooked
The movie totally missed the point
Lurmhan didn't even try, he just cast a bunch of hot guys
Now I'm getting off the point, you got me all worked up
Adaptations really work me up
