College

Hello my name is College 
And I'd like to welcome you
These next four years will likely be the death of you
We'll train you up in the way that you should go 
And give you a piece of paper so all the world will know 
You'll take 60 credits that you'll probably never need
All the while we tell you that you need them to succeed 

Hi I'm graduation, you've shown your dedication 
Now you go into the world and find an occupation 
We gave you preparation 
We gave you all the tools 
Couldn't find a job within your field? 
Feeling like a fool? 
Oh no need to worry 
We'll tell you what to do
Get a part time job 
And enroll in grad school 

Oh I'm glad you're back
It's nothing like before 
Those pointless 60 credits 
We threw them out the door
We cut your time in half 
But double the tuition 
We're pausing all your loans 
So you can take out more 
Remember we're just here to help you 
Get your foot inside the door 
This time when you look 
You'll find a job for sure 

Look the job market's tough 
Don't let it get you down 
Many just aren't hiring 
Especially in this town 
But remember all those loans?
We're going to need them back 
We can make the payments easy 
If we take them out your check
Now I know you don't make much 
But any amount will do
If push comes to shove 
Just come back to school.
