Lyric discussion by robertretro86 

The song is about people who don't get their priorities straight. In school, they don't care about schoolwork, they only want to have a good time. They quit school or don't go to college, or score drugs and drink booze.

However, when they are struggling, trying to look for a minimum wage job or living on welfare, and starving or homeless or both, "It's not funny anymore."

"Find out who you really are And don't pay any attention to me"

Exactly the same view I have: Don't listen to me though, find out for yourself where you'll be in a few years, because you didn't care.

@robertretro86 The song is saying the opposite of that. It's saying that you might as well be yourself and not care what others think because the stupid rat race game wasn't ever all it was cracked up to be, anyway.
