College

Подробнее о видео

i'm gonna tell ya all a tale that's been told to me a time or two
a thing ya oughta do if ya wanna be of good repute:
ya better go to a college
take out a loan
move back in with yer folks
cause you'll never own a home
work a couple of gigs
that ya don't need a degree to do
deliver some food
and live the with guilt
the misery ya builts on you

a long time ago in a town far away
folks told me if i wanna see a brighter day
then ya better hit books boy
get yerself a degree
i never knew the whole country'd
get the same damn trophy as me

they're glad to take yer money
glad to take yer time
put ya in a bunch of debt
before you ever make a dime
you might make a connection
if you can weather the haze
they push ya through like cattle
and hand diplomas out like hay

there's a mutually agreed upon
mediocrity
between the students and the teachers
and administrative faculty
you pretend to try
they'll pretend you earned the grade
but if everyone's here
how in hell are we all great?

college is a racket
no matter how ya stack it
little tax bandits
with a 4 year plan, it's
lucrative endeavor
sold with a moral component
ya know the road hell is
paved with good intentions
and good diplomas

and when it's time to toss the hat
well the troubles jus begining
cause ya know there aint a job
and the loans won't be forgiven
and what little you know now
ya probably oughta forget
ya shoulda been a plumber
now yer dumber and deeper in debt

can you even call it living without 40 grand around yer neck

well if ya wanna be a doc
or if ya wanna build a bridge
ya better get the piece of paper
ya better slap it on yer fridge
but if you wanna make a livin
brother don't make it hard
skip the adderal prescription
get a YouTube subscription
a laptop
and a library card
