Streeter Seidell of College Humor wrote this parody, but they won't make it "because the original is not nearly popular enough to justify the massive expense of recording a song and shooting a video." Aw, come on! Demand it!

Here are the parody lyrics:

When I get Older
I will no longer
live at my mom’s house

Till then I’ll work for my dad

When I get Older
I will no longer
live at my mom’s house
Till then I’ll work for my dad

Economy’s bad
Economy’s bad
Economy’s bad

Suburban grown, to school I roamed
Lived on my own, but savings I’ve blown.
Now college loans, making me moan
Life I’ll postpone, Moving back home
Cuz after college I had the knowledge
I was sure qualified then.
Economy’s weak, outlook is bleak
Accepting defeat, to mom’s house retreat

Now I’m living in my old bedroom and
I’m wondering if I’ll wake up by noon.
Play X-box all day, sleep my life away
A living cliche of U.S. decay

When I get older
I will no longer
Live at my mom’s house
Till then I’ll work for my dad

Economy’s bad
Economy’s bad
Economy’s bad

So many chores, muscles are sore
raking the front yard blisters galore
I heard mom say, her car I could take
But my little brother took it anyway.
So I sit alone now watching my phone grow
even more quiet than a silence vow.
Where did my friends go? Am I the last bro
To live in this town, damn my life it has plateaued

Man I f--king bored, what’s going on?
And I can’t afford, ‘count is overdrawn
So I’ll swallow my pride, move futon inside
Try my best to hide how my dreams have died

When I get older
I will no longer
Live at my mom’s house
Till then I’ll work for my dad

Economy’s bad
Economy’s bad
Economy’s bad

(repeat)

(Student Lo-oanssss, Student Lo-oanssss, Student Lo-oanssss, Student Lo-oanssss)
And I’m never gonna pay them back
(Student Lo-oanssss, Student Lo-oanssss, Student Lo-oanssss, Student Lo-oanssss)
And I’m never gonna pay them back
(Student Lo-oanssss, Student Lo-oanssss, Student Lo-oanssss, Student Lo-oanssss)
And I’m never gonna pay them back

When I get older
I will no longer
Live at my mom’s house
Till then I’ll work for my dad

Economy’s bad
Economy’s bad
Economy’s bad
