Advice to the Graduate

If you got a message
Leave your name and number and we'll get back to you

Sleep on your back and ash in your shoes
And always use the old sense of the words
Your third drink will lead you astray
Wandering down the backstreets of the world

On the last day of your life, don't forget to die
The things that you do will always make your mama cry

Well, I know you got a lot of hope for the new men
Well, I know you got a lot of hope for the new men

So you've got no friends and you wander through the night
And now you watch the sunrise through a rifle-sight
Well, don't believe in people who say it's all been done
They have time to talk because their race is run

So get in some licks and hold your head up
And soon you'll be drinking from that crystal cup

Well, I know you got a lot of hope for the new men
Well, I know you got a lot of hope for
Too much hope for
So much hope for
So much hope for
So much hope for
Good morning to the new world
Good morning to the new world
Good morning to the new world
I want hope for
I want hope for
I want hope for
I want hope for
To the new
To the new
To the new
To the new
