Gifted And Talented Lyrics

Gifted And Talented lyrics

I graduated in 1993
I never demonstrated much of my ability
I was a good
boy
But I was much too smart for my own good
Teachers said I was gifted
and quite talented

Do you have an extra quarter?
Got to get to class
tomorrow
All is fair in Ashbury
Beg my way into Berkeley

When I
was seven, I stared into the monitor
I found my best friend, Mr. Commodore
64
Daddy bought me an International Business Machine
And with it I
compromised the national security

Do you have an extra quarter?
Got
to get to class tomorrow
All is fair in Ashbury
Beg my way into
Berkeley
What the hell are you saving for?
I'm gonna start the third
world war

Hanging with the bums in the gutters I have found
Most of
them are gifted and talented as well

Oh brother, could you spare a
dime?
If a quarter you do not have
Been running from the marshal
man
Since I broke into NORAD

But it's working out so well
A
beggar's life is swell
