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
