Gifted And Talented

Clutch

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 Ashbury

Beg my way into Berkeley



When I was seven, I stared into the monitor

I found my best friend, Mr. Commodore 64

Daddy bought me an International Business Machine

And with it I compromised the national security



Do you have an extra quarter?

Got to get to class tomorrow

All is fair in Ashbury

Beg my way into Berkeley

What the hell are you saving for?

I'm gonna start the third world war



Hanging with the bums in the gutters I have found

Most of them are gifted and talented as well



Oh brother, could you spare a dime?

If a quarter you do not have

Been running from the marshal man

Since I broke into NORAD



But it's working out so well

A beggar's life is swell
