English Degree

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
