Lyrics
English Degree... English Degree... English Degree... English Degree
I went to a party to chill out
The apartment is decently pretty, I'm checking out
When I saw a picture frame on the shelf
It's an English Degree
Oh Michael, I wonder how you are now
What do you do for a living?
Was it tough to get a job
All the books that you read about compassion with passion
Was it worth the debt and doubt?
All the arts and humanities the rich don't care about
Doesn't mean they are no use at all
It's better off a rebel than a heartless robot
Got no blood on your hands, nothing weighs on your conscience
You can sleep in peace at the night fall
It's better off a penniless fool than a soul sucking tool
I woke up early this day in 2012
Rushing to the basement of Dumbach hall
Professor had a cynical sense of humor
I remember the joke he tried to tell
I hope what I'm about to say is a wake up call
To you all the English majors having second thoughts
If you stick to your decision here, there's not gonna be any job
Waiting in the real world
Or you can be like me
Take a decade of your life to get a PhD
Only to be stuffed in a tiny office
Like sardine fish
That's the price you pay to know
All the arts and humanities the rich don't care about
Doesn't mean they are no use at all
It's better off a rebel than a heartless robot
Got no blood on your hands, nothing weight on your conscience
You can sleep in peace at the night fall
It's better off a fool than a soul sucking tool
Ooooo, ooooo, ooooo, oooooooo
Oh an English Degree
The paper that doesn't pay
By the end of the day
You, you hope it's all worth it
Oh an English Degree
The paper that doesn't pay
By the end of the day
You hope it's all worth it
