"Tired of Trying, Bored with Lying, Scared of Dying"

"What's in a name?" in "Tired of Trying, Bored with Lying, Scared of Dying" seems to be an allusion to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, where this same question appears (II.ii.43).

The subject-verb disagreement in the line "It don't occur to you you never built enough schools" is an-other indication of insufficient education.
