The Lyrics

This song is off of Green Day's second album, the indie record: "Kerplunk". Here's the original song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvnIeuD1Hi8&feature=related

In college
My cash flow is binding
It’s been three whole days
And my need of money shows
Spent cash on beer, pizza, and condoms
For me to live here I need to sell my clothes
Damn, I’ve hit several new lows

Mom and dad are acting too cheap
Called them on the phone
They said: “That’s tough”
Some great advice!

I want to show you what
I’m wearing
Now
Because I’m broke

Wardrobe At Discount Price

Salvation Army gives donations
Someone’s old ripped up pants and boxers are my own
It sure is itchy down on my rear
For some weird reason I’m now
Getting some spare dough
I must look like a hobo

Robbed my roommate for some clothing
Sadly she’s a chick
A skirt low-cut
And fishnet tights

I wish I could go nude
But college
Here
Has a dress code

Wardrobe At Discount Price

(Solo)

Need quarters
I can’t do my laundry
It’s been six whole months since
I’ve seen our dorm-room floor

It makes me wonder how I live here
My explanation’s I can’t
Smell things with my nose
Since my socks have decomposed

I wear costumes took from backstage
Dressed like Sherlock Holmes
Some say: “You’re nuts”
“Out of your mind”

So come and take a view
Of what us
Undergrads
Call home
Living At Discount Price

Ooooh…
Discount Price

(Dec2) Revised comments after resubmission. Still pretty good, was a challenge on the verses.

(DEC 2.7) If you're so hard up, I've got a bright orange Hawaiian shirt with bananas and mangos you can have! ;-) Great fun, Matty, and very Green Dayesque theme. 555

Decathlon...wow, Matthias...I never thought I'd cry during a parody...but I'm on the verge of tears at the thought of wearing some of the stuff you've mentioned here!

Loved it! 5s

(dec2.7) you make a good point that going nude would be preferable to some of those options Matty (refer final scene in Pret a Porter) - and haven't we all been in that position - in fact both positions if you include nude - 555

(Dec2) Having given you an in depth opinion via PM, I think you know what I think ;) I love the OS still. . .

Done there, been that. Good to take a trip through your song back to my college days, and my (lack of) fashion sense :)

Ah yes, college living...my senior year starts in two weeks. And don't be dissing on Goodwill and the like...I get my best hawaiian shirts there. Great work!

Agrimorfee - August 09, 2011 - Report this comment

Perfect combo of topic to OS considering the college-age kids who probably live this way also listen to Green Day a lot (But what do I know...). I left college in '93 and I'm still forced to live this way!!

(Artistry) As a college student, I relate to this one a lot. This was really funny! I really liked this line, "Robbed my roommate for some clothing, Sadly she’s a chick, A skirt low-cut, And fishnet tights" Awesome stuff!

Jeff Reuben - August 18, 2011 - Report this comment

Hand me down boxers...love to get me some of those

Rex - August 21, 2011 - Report this comment

(Artistry) I hope at least the condoms are not hand me downs. Fun dissertation on the lifestyle of the poor and educated.

(Artistry) Ah, this is from the Decathlon2 round I missed due to reasons of complete stupidity on my part. Great parody here, I'd say the mess reminds me of my brother but he at least still has access to a washing machine...it just takes a while for him to remember to use it. 555 for you, sir!
