about

A song about the futility of life, all set to a bouncy happy 808 drumbeat.

The snare drum in this song is a mixture of the classic 808 snare, along with a recording of rich screaming the word "Kaaa!"

lyrics

Gotta get a diploma, gotta get a degree,
gotta get an education so you will hire me.
And if I don't get an education, what'll happen to me,
I'll have to go and work for Tescos, eternally.
But I don't think that you want that to happen to me,
so I better go to university.

Gotta grow up now, gotta get a job,
pay off my student loan and stop being a slob.
Gotta save some money, get a place to live,
find a house somewhere near here and someone to live with.
And if you want to you can come and live with me,
until then I'll be here with my family.

Gotta find a partner, gotta find a wife,
gotta find someone to take control of my life.
Maybe have some children, maybe get a dog,
I'll work for fifty years and retire from my job.
And when it's over and I finally cease to be,

hope that someone out there will remember me......
