"Two Points For Honesty"

If that's all you will be, you'll be a waste of time
You've dreamed a thousand dreams, none seem to stick in your mind
Two points for honesty
It must make you sad to know that nobody cares at all
I want to be where I've never been before
I want to be there and then I'd understand
Know I'm right and do it right, could I get to be like that
I'll know what I don't know with nothin more to gain
Will I get better or stay the same
I find I always move too slowly
Can't lift a finger, can't change my mind
I never knew till someone told me that...
If that's all you will be, you'll be a waste of time
You've dreamed a thousand dreams, none seem to stick in your mind
Two points for honesty
It must make you sad to know that nobody cares at all
And all the people who've seen it all before
And all the people who really understand
Know they're right, and have done it right, could I get to be like that
I'll know what I don't know, it's harder everyday
Can't lift a finger, can't hurt a fly
I've found I always move too slowly
One things for certain, I'm insecure
I never knew till someone told me that....
If that's all you will be, you'll be a waste of time
You've dreamed a thousand dreams, none seem to stick in your mind
Two points for honesty
It must make you sad to know that nobody cares at all
Nobody cares at all
They never care at all

The future just got blurrier than it already seemed. How great. So I thought I had it figured out, I was going to apply to all colleges as an Engineering Undecided major or a Bioengineering major. But I took all those tests, you know, those career tests, the ones that tell you what they think you should be based on your answers, and the thing I always get is Psychologist. And I got Disc Jockey and a few really cool others, but man, I saw no Engineering anything. It scares me, it definitely does. What do I do? I must admit though, my main concern is what do I tell my aunt? I told her I would be an Engineering major, but I don't know anymore. All I care about is that they approve of what I'm doing with my life. All I care is that they think I'm setting the good example for all the little kids looking up at me. I want to satisfy everyone, including myself, but it just doesn't work that way, I can't include myself. Man, this is complicated. I feel like I should talk with all of them--my parents, my aunt, my grandparents, everyone I ever told my plan to--and tell them that I'm sorry. I can't do it, I lied. Maybe this is the time to follow my own dreams. You know? I don't want to be always trying to be who they want me to be. Be who you are. Only be ashamed of who that is if you know that you aren't what you could've been. I can do what they want me to do, and live with regret, or I can do what I want to do, and endure their disapproval. All they care about is money. That just ain't me.
