Gifted & Talented

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 Asbury

Make my way into Berkeley

When I was seven, I stared in to the monitor

And found my best friend

Mr. Commodore 64

Daddy bought me an International Business Machine

And with it I compromised national security

Do you have an extra quarter?

Got to get to class tomorrow

All is fair in Asbury

Make my way into Berkeley

What the hell ya saving for?

I'm gonna start the third world war

Hanging with the punks in the gutters I have found

Most of them are gifted and talented as well

Oh brotha could you spare a dime?

(If a quarter you do not have)

Been running from the Marshall Man

Since I broke into NORAD

But it's working out so well

The beggar's life is swell
