THE DROP OUT As recorded by The Everly Brothers (From the 1964 Album GONE GONE GONE) Capo 3rd fret [Intro] [Verse 1] I work in a big supermarket in L.A And earn every dollar I spend I own my own car but I’m not very happy I don’t go to school with my friends [Chorus] Some people they say that I have no ambition A failure I’m destined to be But money’s important when you haven’t any So I dropped out to get what I need For I have to take care of me [Verse 2] I work every day so I miss education There’s no one around to help me This spring I’ll attend all my friends’ graduation But there’ll be no diploma for me [Chorus] Some people they say that I have no ambition A failure I’m destined to be But money’s important when you haven’t any So I dropped out to get what I need For I have to take care of me [Guitar Solo]                [Out-Chorus] Some people they say that I have no ambition A failure I’m destined to be But money’s important when you haven’t any So I dropped out to get what I need For I have to take care of me I dropped out to get what I need For I have to take care of me I dropped out to get what I need

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'un jeune homme qui travaille dans un supermarché à Los Angeles pour subvenir à ses besoins. Malgré sa volonté de s'en sortir, il se sent malheureux et fait face au regard critique des autres qui jugent son choix de ne pas poursuivre ses études. Il admet que l'argent est essentiel dans sa vie actuelle, ce qui l’a poussé à abandonner l'école pour se concentrer sur son emploi et assurer sa survie. Ce choix difficile le place dans une position où il doit prendre soin de lui-même, même si cela signifie renoncer à un diplôme et à une éducation.
