go into finance - billy recce lyrics
[spoken in rythm]
in 5th grade my school
thought it would be cool
to do a production of “hair”
so i took off my clothes
and did 3 sold out shows
[sung]
and each one my grandma was there
and after each show
she would throw a bouquet
and i’d catch with a smile
as i heard grandma say
“go. into. finance
go into real estate
i hate to be b-tchy
but your solo was pitchy
and you came in like four measures late
go into finance
now is the time you should know
if you so much as try
then it won’t even fly
in a royal caribbean show.”
{spoken in rhythm]
freshman year at polk high
i decided that i
[sung]
couldn’t wait for opportunity
so i wrote in one day
a one woman play
and i set up my gofundme
so i sent it to grandma
who wrote back in pen
she said “i’d rather donate
to zach braff again”
go into finance
or maybe medicine
your sk!llset is best for
a formal request form
for confidence -ss-ssin
go be a yuppy
or maybe just marry well
cause if i sound nasty
even with rhinoplasty
you’ll never be lea mich-lle
she said
“a tisket a tasket
don’t put all your eggs in one basket
there’s plenty of pain and disease
so spare us please.”
{spoken in rhythm]
well, the cancer appeared
it was worse then we feared
and quick to metastasize
but she still soldered on
’till she knew she’d be gone
{sung}
i watched her with tear filled eyes
so i sang her a song
at the side of her bed
and she grabbed me and uttered
the last words she said
“go. into. finance
keep your face off of screens
follow your heart
but away from all arts
and all karaoke machines
go into finance
go start a darn day care
’cause if lincon were to
watch your broadway debut
he would blow his own brains out
right then and there.”
[spoken]
that’s why i’m here with you
she pushed me because she knew
[sung]
when haters say “screw it”
the dreamers dream through it
and get their own show on tv
so here’s to the fools like me!
