lyrics

every one of us on the committee
we welcome you into the class of 03
and we are welcomin' you to our fair city
in this land where everybody is free
to be what they can afford
so we will disregard the college board

anybody can grow up to buy the USA
anybody can grow up to buy the USA

we know you understand the price of admission
and we were lookin' at your family tree
guess we're the one's that should be asking permission
to take the money and to give the degree
cause we see what you can afford
and all the places you are headed toward

anybody can grow up to buy the USA
anybody can grow up to buy the USA

anyone who can pay

makin' a deal
keepin' it real

we all know that you can pay ....
