lyrics

I followed advice
of the words of the wise
and I can't believe
what happened

I earned my degree
got my PhD
but now
I work
in a factory

This is not
How I thought
It would be

[inst]

I heard this sentence
for soooo long:
you get your education
to fall back on

but I did
as I was told
and now
you see
My education
fell back
on me

And I'll be paying
for eternity

inst

I thought I knew
exactly where
I was going to go

I did not
end up where
I thought I would go

They love to tell you
what to do
and where you need to go

But if it
does not work out
Then you're on your own

I followed advice
from the words of the wise
and I can't believe
what happened to me

I earned me degree
my PhD

This is not
How I thought
it would be
