The Sophomores

I wrote this song the day I finished my freshman year, and became a sophomore. But don't get me wrong, this isn't the story of my life. This is a song about a guy who becomes a sophomore, and is forced to learn to take responsibility for his actions after he impregnates a girl.

When I was young, I didn't learn anything

I had my fun, and didn't watch for mice

Now I'm "Raid" bearing, searching, with my head on the floor

stopped my babyish acts, and killed those damn mice

I must be held responsible

We went over to her place

I must be held responsible

I screwed her when we were at her place

for the life of me, I can not remember

why the baby has to be mine, and I can not compromise

for the life of me, I could not believe

I'd have to deal with my sins

I'm no longer a freshman

My best friend was alcohol, to forget her

This girl took a week, and elected to abort

Now I'm guilt-stricken sobbing with my head on the floor

I think about her now, and how she never really wept, I say

I feel so damn responsible

We went over to her place

I feel so damn responsible

I screwed her in the first place

For the life of me, I can not remember

why the baby has to be mine, and I can not compromise

for the life of me, I could not believe

I'd have to deal with my sins

I'm no longer a freshman

wish I could wash away all of this

I never thought about having relationships

Now I'll be a father

Can't stand it anymore

I fell through the ice, I want to quit, I'd say

For the life of me, I can not remember

why the baby has to be mine, and I can not compromise

for the life of me, I could not believe

I'd have to deal with my sins

I'm no longer a freshman
