Save me a Spot in College

People robbing banks

Should have gone to college

People killing people

Should have gone to college

Working at the local pawn shop

Should have gone to college

Four-point-oh student

No room for her in college

The world today, is not

That great of a place

We have conflicts with countries

And problems with race

To make this nation better

You've got to share knowledge

Appreciate and celebrate

The fact that you can educate

So California

I'm asking you a favor

Save me a spot in college

And I will never waver
