I work in a big supermarket in L.A
And earn every dollar I spend
I own my own car but I'm not very happy
I don't go to school with my friends
Some people they say that I have no ambition
A failure I'm destined to be
But money's important when you haven't any
So I dropped out to get what I need

For I have to take care of me
I work every day so I miss education
There's no one around to help me
This spring I'll attend all my friends' graduation
But there'll be no diploma for me
Some people they say that I have no ambition
A failure I'm destined to be
But money's important when you haven't any
So I dropped out to get what I need

For I have to take care of me
Some people they say that I have no ambition
A failure I'm destined to be
But money's important when you haven't any
So I dropped out to get what I need
For I have to take care of me
I dropped out to get what I need
For I have to take care of me
I dropped out to get what I need...
