RHETT AND LINK lyrics : "The Graduation Song"
All your loved ones are just so proud
And we would love to inpire you
But someone needs to just give you the truth
For the past 18 years, your life's been pretty smooth
Let's take a moment and reflect on all you've had to do
You rolled out of bed and strolled to the living room
And watched Cartoon Network while your mom made waffles for you
Your laundry was magically clean
And your dad's back pocket was an ATM machine
Your life's biggest worry was what to wear to the prom
And your only regret was that incident with the stink bomb
Do you hear that subtle sound?
It's the sound of reality about to slap the taste out your mouth
Cause now you're on your own
Don't screw this up
You're on your own
Good luck
You're gonna need it
You're young and now you're free
The world is your oyster
We have no clue what that means
But let us paint a picture of your future
You're gonna eat a lot of Hot Pockets
And you're thinking "that sounds great!"
Well, get back to us in 6 months when you had 378
As soon as you move out
You know what your parents are gonna do
They're gonna turn your bedroom into an exercise room
That they never use
And you won't use lockers in college
And this might be a total bummer
There are no yearbooks either, you actually have to say
"Have a great summer"
Do you hear that knock knock knock?
That's personal responsibility about to put you in a headlock
Cause now you're on your own
You should be scared
But we can tell
You don't care
Why don't you care?
You should be frightened
Do you feel that gentle breeze?
It's the category 5 hurricane of adulthood about to hit you upside the head with a tree
Cause now you're on your own
Don't screw this up
You're on your own
Good luck
You're gonna need it
