Cover art for We Can Be Strong lyrics by Willy Mason

Hes not a a search at all..

Willy has found what he wanted. He doesnt want to go to college because it will pospone his true ambition, music. By losing his face he feels as though all of the teachings are being imposed on him. What the business is about is the truth being denied by teachers, and making us just another slave to the system. Hes seen whats offered, been pressured into college, and is finally thinking for himself. After all people that go to college arn't able to educate themselves without assistance.

just my view

I agree. "They can't sell me tomorrow" - People pay vast sums of money to go to college, hoping to brighten their future (their "tomorrow"). I think he's talking about how so many people are pressured into going to college/university but in the end it's not for everyone. "Now I'm back on mamma's couch plenty of time to think about all of the kids that went the college route chasing their tomorrows" I think those lines ring true. For me they do anyway.
