Ballad of a Basement
Schroeder's Songbook

I got the news I grew up overnightnAnd I owe it to my folks to go and do this whole thing rightnSo I headed off to the universitynAnd hit the books so hard that my hands began to bleednI got a BA in BS and a PhDnIn finding brand new ways to ask my father for moneynThis basement’s getting smaller everydaynI need a job, a life, a wife and someday someplace else to staynAnd I know I shouldnGive this up for goodnBut what good is a dreamnIf you keep it in your sleepnScream it loud and clearnSo that everyone can hearnIt’s who you arenYeah, you’re a starnAnd no amount of doubtnWill burn you out todaynDon’t wanna trade in my chucks for a tie and suitnDon’t wanna trade in my freedom for a memory of my youthnI’m still young, but these things weren’t built to lastnThe limit is the sky, but this plane was built to crashnAnd I know I shouldnGive this up for goodnBut what good is a dreamnIf you keep it in your sleepnScream it loud and clearnSo that everyone can hearnIt’s who you arenYeah, you’re a starnAnd no amount of doubtnWill burn you out todaynTo you this all may seem like a waste of timenJust heart transplants to notebook paper linesnBut when it’s all over and we’re both asked “what did you do?”nWhich one of us can say we did just what we wanted to?nAnd I know I shouldnGive this up for goodnBut what good is a dreamnIf you keep it in your sleepnScream it loud and clearnSo that everyone can hearnIt’s who you arenYeah, you’re a starnAnd no amount of doubtnWill burn you out today
