about

don't go to grad school!

lyrics

you think you might have found a passion
you’ll need a PhD to hack it
school’s fun when you’re in your bachelor’s
straight As make you feel smart

move across the country for a lab
flunk a class your first semester
then find out you’re manic-depressive
plus have a hard time making friends

don’t go to grad school
don’t go to grad school
being a scientist isn’t that cool
don’t go to grad school
don’t go to grad school
you’ll say goodbye to money, fun, and time

you’re still waiting tables
you’re reading all the time
there’s always screaming on your street
but at least the rent is cheap

ruled by passing deadlines
you haven’t gotten published yet
your advisor’s bad with email
and the experiment just failed

don’t go to grad school
don’t go to grad school
being a scientist isn’t that cool
don’t go to grad school
don’t go to grad school
you’ll say goodbye to money, fun and time

when people ask you why you do it
you’ll realize all your mistakes
you’ll lie when you say it’s for love
cause you just can’t wait to get done

don’t go to grad school
don’t go to grad school
being a scientist isn’t that cool
don’t go to grad school
don’t go to grad school
who am I kidding, this shit rules

don’t go to grad school

sometimes the science all works out
and your hope can be renewed
so you’re still writing past midnight
cause you won’t give up out of sheer spite

don’t go to grad school
don’t go to grad school
you’ll regret it every day
don’t go to grad school
don’t go to grad school
I promise there’s a better way
