“You've got a degree in philosophy,
So you think you're cleverer than me.
But I'm not just some drama queen,
Cos it's where you're at not where you've been.
So what do you expect from me,
To hold your head above the sea?

And anyway we're still so young
And this isn't yet the day.
I can't help you if you won't help yourself.”
